I am not good at relationships
especially human
not just me, but
people around me
have long since given up
I think I'm lucky
Samuel
I met my 2-year-old grandson
two years are coming up
One day after a year
Samuel started calling my name
When he greets
When he winks at
When we do something together
When we say bye
When we go for a walk
When we play
When we eat
When I stay with him
He calls my name
Not just once
Usually about five times
He keeps calling it
He calls it the same with Emotion
He calls it more afterwards than at first
There is only one difference
When I treat people
I always treat them from my point of view
When I treat my Samuel
I always treat him from his point of view
not from my point of view
Even today, when Samuel looks up at me
he says with eyes
"Grandpa,
treat other people the way
you treat me"
I give Samuel a look
"Okay"
I wonder more about my future.
