My Grandson is now ten and growing like the proverbial ****, but still young and sweet enough to yet sit upon my knee, to share moments of joy and reflection, or for me to tell him a story.
He still giggles when I tickle him, and thankfully he's not too old to give and receive hugs and kisses. Best of all he never fails to tell me he loves me whenever he arrives or leaves.
Grandchildren are a blessing and our one compensation for growing old.
