It’s so pure. The love of grandparents for the grandchildren.
Today morning, I was in a bus going to work, as regular weekdays. I was super sleepy(early morning feeling) and then I saw a kid looking at the line of vehicles at a traffic standing at the side walk. She was hardly 2 years old and probably try it understand, ‘Why so many buses?’, ‘ Why the rush?’, ‘Why the traffic?’, and what I loved the most, was her grandpa’s reaction to it.
He was a white bearded man standing there at the side walk with her, holding her hand. In fact the girl was holding the grandpa’s index finger. All the while, the grandpa was standing still and letting her feel things and analyse her thoughts. The grandpa was not rushing the kid to walk or distract her train of thoughts. On the other hand, the kid was gladly absorbing life and then decided to walk and unknowingly initiated the walk and off they went both.
What a sight it was to see the patient grandpa giving the power of present to her grandchild and the way she bossed the moment. Loved it.
Have you ever felt something so unique that brought a smile to your face and opened up a new level of love and bonding in your life?
I was sitting on the grass in a music festival when a child was being wheeled in. People were mostly standing around me, so at my level I could only see this child’s face. I smiled at him widely and he smiled back and then waved at me. I waved back. Then he got off and disappeared onto the dance floor with his parents. It was a unique moment.
