My Banka

Today was a good day.

I walk in to my grandparents house for a family dinner. As I walk in I make my normal rounds of hugs and hellos.
Usually as I say hello to my great grandpa (Banka), he gives me a blank stare and says hello... confused to who I am.

Today was rare gift.

As I walk over to him, before I could even utter a word he says.....

"Well, Hello Dana!!", with a huge warm smile on his face!
Man, this warmed my heart.

He went off to tell me what I a beautiful young women I was.. and told me stories of when he was young.
I was able to ask him questions... tell him memories I had of him from when I was young.

I will cherish tonight for a long time.

Thank you God, for this rare connection with my Banka.
