The scene opens with a young boy lying sick  in bed. His grandfather
is reminiscing with him about his life and childhood. He recalls his own father
reading to him when he was 10 and ill with pneumonia.

It is a story that has been
passed on through the generations. In fact, it became the grandfather's all-time favorite story.
He opens the worn torn book cover of “The Princess Bride” and cleverly engages
his grandson as this imaginative story unfolds.

This epic tale is a
light hearted adventure of a quest for true love  entwined amid the forces of
good and evil. 

Years later, actor Mandy Patinkin reminisces about a famous line in the film. As he looks back,  he discovers, and reveals  a remarkable insight. Listen to this 1.5 min video by clicking on the link below.

Recently, I visited my precious mom. She shared some snippets of her childhood remembrances, which I was able to capture on video. What stories give meaning to your life, you know, the favorite ones that you wish to relive and tell, again and again?
