I grew up missing my grandfather. Now I'm making sure the 400-mile distance doesn't keep my kids from knowing theirs.

For my parents, it was a goldmine. People were starved of luxury for almost 30 years, and they were hungry to discover the world and everything it had to offer. I was 8 years old at the time, and I remember when my parents told my younger siblings and me that we would be moving. My heart sank. I just started primary school and had to leave my friends behind and start over again. The worst part, though, was that I had to leave my grandpa behind. I remember missing him so much, even though we visited him a couple of times a year.

Honestly, I hate the idea that anybody is "too big" for a holiday craft almost as much as I hate the idea that a craft can be "too simple" for somebody. Literally the entire world could benefit from an hour alone with some construction paper and a glue stick, and holiday crafts are always such a great family bonding moment. So don't feel like because you have big kids you have to find a Christmas craft worthy of selling on Etsy.

My dad prioritized experiences over possessions. I'm grateful for the international trips he took us on.

When I was 10, I remember preparing for the most exciting adventure of my life - so far. My family and I were going on a cruise from Mumbai to Lakshadweep Island. I could hardly stand the anticipation. My father, in those days, was still an up-and-coming businessman, and paying for our travels didn't come easy. But he always made sure to prioritize travel.

Living five hours away from them, my kids don't get as much quality time with their grandparents during the school year as they'd like.
