Synopsis :
When our children were small, and after completing the house we were building, my husband decided he would build a sandbox for our kids. Unfortunately, as our grandchildren were arriving he became ill and passed away in 2005. He was not able to take on this project with/for them. However, I can easily imagine him going to visit grandchildren and offering to build them a sandbox. As I wrote this story I could feel his presence and knew that building a sandbox is something he would have eagerly done.
