Grandma's Eyes: A Grandfather's Perspective on Love John King

THIS work is a reaction to a postmodern sexual freedomÑ and subsequent redefining of the terms of relationshipÑthat are affecting the moral conscience of my grandchildren who naively assume that a grandparent's code of ethics and morals is old fashion and out-of-dateÑan impractical ideology. A postmodern world recommends a level of sexual freedom where the physical pleasure is emphasized over the relationship and over love, something about which a grandparent has a loving interest in cautioning against. All grandpa has to serve his interest in this regard is his near half century romance with grandma, of which he speaks freely to lovingly encourage the grandchildren to choose a lifestyle that will support spiritual and emotional health as well as help them discover a deep and enduring friendship and romance with the person of their choosing. This brief work is the product of that interest, a story, as told Ñas the title readsÑin grandma's eyes.
