Grandpa's Windy Day Kite Run

Grandpa leans close, his sleeves rolled, as he steadies a smiling boy holding the kite string. The diamond kite pulls upward, its long tail tied with neat little bows. Puffy clouds float above low hills, and tufts of grass dot the open field. The breeze makes the string curve like a gentle wave.

The boy looks up with bright eyes, sneakers set for a tiny run while Grandpa guides his elbow. Their faces show matching grins and calm focus. Simple shapes leave room for bold color, from the sky to the dancing tail. It feels like a warm, windy afternoon spent together.

Fun Fact!

The Wahine disaster, the sinking of the TEV Wahine ferry in Wellington Harbour in 1968, is one of New Zealand's worst maritime disasters and a defining event for a generation of Kiwis.
