We go spend Thursday mornings with my grandpa. Sometimes we venture out and ‘do’ something, but the last couple times we stayed at his house and played with the toys stored there. At one of our visits a few weeks ago, Audrey almost immediately climbed into my grandpa’s lap, hugged him and stroked his cheeks looking closely at his face. He reciprocated the soft touches on her face and told her he loved her. It moved me to tears because I know how many people are asking my grandpa how he’s doing, if he’s okay, what can they do to help….etc. And Audrey just climbed right up on his lap and gave him love. Simple as that, no questions asked. Sometimes it’s important to take the lead from the little people in our lives. So, today I just bear hugged my grandpa, no questions asked.
In return, he told me I’m his prettiest granddaughter.
I love this picture of Audrey and Grampa…The roof angles had me puzzled and the “Elvrumtongue ” with concentration is so fitting. But more importantly the words to describe the tender moments between them was captured beautifully.Oh the sweet tenderness
