A Stopwatch from Grampa

Garbutt, Loretta

Omschrijving

A touching portrayal of the loss of a grandparent."When summer started, I got Grampa's stopwatch," a small child says. "I don't want his stopwatch. I want him." Grampa used to time everything. A race to the end of the street and back: 24 seconds. Eating bubblegum ice cream: 1 minute, 58 seconds. But now, Grampa's gone. "There are no more Grampa minutes, Grampa seconds," the child says. "Time just stops." But as time goes on, the stopwatch becomes a cherished symbol of remembrance, and the child uses it to carry on Grampa's favorite pastimes and traditions.A treasured ritual from the past can sometimes offer the perfect bridge to the future.
