When our kids were younger we gave Grandpa Al several little metal toy trains and trucks that we could open and fill with candy. The kids loved playing with the toys when they visited Grandpa. Grandpa's toys have been packed up for many years now and looking at them brings me a sense of loss but this year it needed to be different. We are the ones who are grandparents now and there is a new little train lover in the family. I bought a new train this year with a little lime green roof and put it with the others in easy reach for a 2 year old. A new little one will now have memories of playing with little toy trains at Grandpa's and soon one more little one will manage to grab a train too.
