This week my grandson and I clocked over 2,000 km together on the bicycle.
Note: the photo shows 3,000 km, but often I’m riding home without him after dropping him off. So we work on two-thirds of the total distance.
2000 kms sounds remarkable, but it’s made up of 1999 unremarkable kilometres. (One day we saw six scrub turkeys on a short stretch of bikeway and we both remarked, wow!)
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.
Presence beats presents.
