A Short Story: age and Youth and Love

A busy weekend, with family visits, a gorgeous two hours of spa pampering, a walk in torrential rain to last night’s opera, more family visits today before I catch the ferry home, leaving Pater behind to supervise the kitchen cabinet installations next week.

But I thought I’d take a minute to share my favourite image from the weekend. Our newest granddaughter has just hit that delightful stage of trying to engage in conversation, earnestly making cooing sounds, screwing up her little lips every which way, eyebrows raising and lowering to signal important elements in her stories. She’s telling Granddad something of great significance here. He’s listening carefully. I’m not sure communication could ever be more clear. The story of love.

Happy Sunday!

    You have really captured something very special there. These bonds are so important and the photo shows just how strong the bond is. Glad you had a great weekend.

    To glimpse such an intimate conversation is to long to share such pleasures.
