Most of us assume we have plenty of time with our grandchildren.
Years, certainly.
But years are hard to see.
Weeks are different.
The Life in Weeks chart turns a 90-year life into something you can see at a glance. Each little square represents one week.
Try this.
Find your age today and mark it.
Now think about your grandchild. How old will you be when they turn 20?
Mark that too.
Then look at the space between those two points.
That’s your window.
Not a countdown.
Not a reason to feel old.
And definitely not a reason to feel guilty about what you haven’t done.
It’s an opportunity to think about what you can do with the time ahead.
You don’t have to make every week memorable. Most won’t be.
But over those weeks there will be breakfasts, walks, stories, silly games, difficult conversations, small adventures, mistakes, questions and ordinary afternoons together.
Those small moments add up.
So look at your window and ask yourself:
What do I want to do with it?
Now you can see your window. The question is: what are you going to do with it?
