I remember my grandpa was a man of few words. My favorite moments were of me sitting with him out under the tree in his yard. He would smoke cigarettes and drink tea and I would just sit on the chair next to him, dangling my legs looking up at him in awe. I knew he loved me even without words. Thanks for writing something that brought this memory back to me. He died when I was 13 and it wasn't until years later that I found out he talked about those times to my mom in a rare 'discussion'. He enjoyed them as much as I. I think when you are really comfortable with someone you can simply be in their presence. There is no need to force conversation. Nice post! Thanks for sharing it.

@Jeff: “Actions speak louder than words.”

Exactly.

@Sean: My wife and I also enjoy those quiet moments. Sometimes I feel we are more accurately sharing our feelings during those times then when we open our mouths.

@Daniel: Building other people up with words is certainly very important.

@Miguel: Thanks for sharing that story. I can see you understand where I’m coming from.

I remember a kid when I was a camp counsellor, ages ago. Half of our kids came from children's homes (and that was the good half). One of them, F. behaved and looked in size four years younger. He did not speak much, and when he did it was with a voiced that reminded me of a mix of Donald Duck and Leonard Cohen. But he needed not to. We just sat together. I still cherish those moments as some of the best of my life, and more fruitful. Miguel de Luis´s last blog post..Mecanografía: una habilidad básica

I'm more of the kind of person who would rather talk when I can find the energy to do so. I sure hope that I won't find myself regretting on the times missed out not being able to say the words that will help build others back up.

I'm a born communicator, my father is not. It is mostly the unsaid things between us which make our moments golden. Even my wife, with whom I speak endlessly to, enjoys long periods of quiet when all were hearing is the breathing of the other. I loved this post, Eric.
