Especially for My Sisters
This video is of my granddaughter Violet and a garden gnome. The gnome is a miner with the name FLOYD written across the front of the wheelbarrow. My mom made the gnome for my dad, who was a miner. I'm posting the video especially for my sisters. Click here.
You'll notice that when I tell Violet that Floyd was my daddy, she starts to back away. You don't see the perplexed look on her face as she backs away. For a not-quite-two-year-old, whose world is all very literal, the idea that a little glass gnome may have been my father was just too much to comprehend. I have since changed the message to Floyd was my daddy's name. She understands that much better!
