One more reason

Today I had the pleasure of watching my ten year old grandson perform in his fourth grade musical. It felt surreal. I was wiping away tears of utter joy and enjoying the feeling that one can only feel when you are a grandmother, when I suddenly realized: This is one of the reasons I am taking care of my health. For this. For many more. To see him grow up, to see him get married, to see his children if possible. I want to be around for a while, I want to be with my children and celebrate their accomplishments, their families.

It's worth putting down the fork. It is.
