I can't imagine what it is like to be a grandparent (and I hope I don't have to find out for at least 20 years). To see the children of your precious child must be incredible. My parents and in-laws are gaga over their little girl. Babies do have a special effect on people in general I guess.
My dad is still in denial about being a grandfather and hates to admit to his friends that he has a grandchild. His denial may be accounted for because he has a wife 14 years younger than him and they had discussed the possibility of having children. Most recently, my dad met his first grandchild after waiting 6 months. It didn't surprise me that he waited so long to make her acquaintance because he hasn't seen me in almost two years.
Avery worked her magic and wrapped this aloof,workaholic of a grandparent around her finger. At first he just kind of stared at her in awe and amazed at her development. She laughed and smiled the whole weekend drawing my dad in so much that he tried to take her send my husband and I off without her. I felt touched to see that he is capable of being so playful and loving toward someone other than his job and money.
I know I won't ever have the kind of relationship with my father that I would like, but I am happy to know that my daughter will.
