Written for my grandparent's 65th wedding anniversary. |
If there is one thing that can be said about Robert Peekstok, It's that he's a builder. A builder of houses a builder of homes a builder of art and a builder of relationships. A subtle wit always marks everything he says and his words are always chosen with care. He's eternally young, yet full of wisdom that only a long, full life can bring. He is a husband, father and grandfather and he has passed his free spirit and his patient kindness on to his children and grandchildren. Every child of his succeeding generations shares some of his traits, and it's a certainty that the next generation will share them too. Grandpa taught us that the journey is always more important than the destination. And that finding your own way is always more fun. Who needs to ask for directions? Not all who wander are lost. To this day, Grandpa continues to create. Erecting small towers of stone and shaping his Grandchildren with his stories and his pride in the family that he has built. Because after all, if there's one thing that can be said about Robert Peekstok, it's that he's a builder. |
