What if the moments your kids or grandkids remember most aren’t the big vacations, the perfect holidays, or the expensive gifts… but the goofy games you made up in the living room?

In this episode of The Grandpa Channel, Steve Harris talks with Mollie Diamond about her dad, Wid — a grandpa who turned ordinary evenings into magic. From “Poison Pillow” battles to the game of “Duddo” to a pretend snow-removal business, Wid showed his family that presence over perfection creates the kind of joy that lasts for generations.

Through his playful grandpa stories, his unconditional love, and his Christ-like qualities, Wid left a family legacy of laughter, resilience, and faith that continues to shape his children and grandchildren.

This episode is a tender reminder that you don’t need to be perfect to leave a mark — you just need to show up, listen, laugh, and create joy out of the small things.

In this heartwarming conversation with Mollie Diamond, you’ll discover:

• 🎭 The power of small traditions — how games like Poison Pillow, Duddo, and a pretend snow-removal business became the most cherished grandpa stories.

• ❤️ How unconditional love explained through simple rituals can be a child’s greatest security.

• 👂 Why listening and understanding are the foundation for joy-filled relationships.

• 🌱 How spiritual resilience made Wid’s humor, faith, and laughter shine even in hospital rooms.

• ✝️ What living like Jesus looks like in practice: not grand sermons, but small, everyday acts of kindness and presence.

• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 How these playful, made-up games turned into a family legacy his grandchildren will never forget.

✨ The takeaway: You don’t need big plans or perfect execution to leave a lasting legacy. Every parent and grandparent can create joy by leaning into the silly, the small, and the spontaneous.
