My name is Greg Payne,
I was recently made a
grandpa. Truth be told, this
was a mixed event. On one
hand, I was excited for my
son and daughter-in-law
to present this news to me.
On the other hand, I felt
that I was too young to
become a grandpa. At the
tender age of 48, I was just
starting to figure out my
elbow from a hole in the
ground.
Grandma of seven, ranging
in age from one to
20 years old. Dr. Marsha
McLean likes to hang out
with her grandchildren
every chance she gets, they
bring her so much joy. In
fact, each year she and her
husband do a " Grand trip "
with the grandkids each
summer.
The Cool Grandpa
Podcast - Greg Payne
What did I know about being a grandpa? Not
much. Like being a husband, I had seen some good
examples and plenty of bad examples of being a
husband. The same holds true for being a grandpa.
I have found that in most books, movies, tv
shows, etc. grandpas are often just afterthoughts,
jokes, or villains. I am all of those things and at the
same time none of
those things.
I thought that a
community of grandpas
that had real-life
experiences as sons,
husbands, fathers,
and most importantly
Grandfathers needed
to be built.
So, here we are.
