As we age, though, it can be difficult to determine how and when to pass that knowledge to loved ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur only child, an adopted daughter, blessed us with our first grandchild, a boy, the son I never had. I was already in the winter of my life and feared I would not live long enough to share with him those things I thought were important for him to know. I decided a book, written to him, would be a perfect solution. And so I wrote \"Things I Wanted My Grandson To Know Before I Leave\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA few years later, we were blessed again with a second grandson. The precedence I set with the first book left me no alternative but to try and write another to our newest gift. Thus I wrote \"Things I Wanted My Grandsons To Know Before I Leave\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn my two books, I offer my two grandsons a collection of quotes, sayings, snippets, and examinations designed to inform, delight, and inspire. By sharing wisdom I have gleaned from my decades on this Earth, I challenge my grandsons to live successful, God-centered lives. Entries range from funny (\"I prefer to call your grandma a 'homemaker', 'cause 'house wife' implies that there may be another wife someplace else\") to sincere (\"You never know when you're makin' a memory\"0 to profound (\"Never forget that a half truth is still a whole lie\"), paving the way for deep discussion and open dialogue. Readers will resonate with the book's personal tone and cherish them as a reference guide, opening their pages again and again to revisit entries that speak to them--and ones that will speak to them in the future as they adopt and grow as people, friends, spouses, and God's children.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a combination of gentle encouragement and serious reflection, both \"Things I Wanted My Grandson To Know Before I Leave\" and \"Things I Wanted MY Grandsons To Know Before I Leave\" offer a heartfelt t approach to living an authentic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a Nebraskan who has indulged in the pleasures of a simple, honest and hardworking existence alongside my wife, Jan, I have a deep sense of human nature.
