Our grandchildren accept us for ourselves, without rebuke or effort to change us, as no one in our entire lives has ever done, not our parents, siblings, spouses, friends - and hardly ever our own grown children.
-- Ruth Goode
Two Years Old
I open the door
and his face explodes
in a brimming Cheshire cat smile.
'I love you' I proclaim
with a tear in my voice
'Yes' he agrees with a nod.

Curiously moving in its brevity. His matter-of-fact acceptance of a grandmother's love is charming and beautiful.

Pure, heartfelt, unconditional love in a tide of poetic pride that floods the page with sheer joy. To know that one is loved is the best feeling in the world, and Dylan's face says it all - he is gorgeous, just like his grandmother! :)

I love the simple warm brevity. Couldn't be said better. Celebrates the open-heartedness of a child for a loved grandparent

I have grandchildren as well. "Yes" in agreement of our love is enough, isn't it! Yes we do love our little ones! Wonderful snapshot.

This is simply enchanting Alison and I can see "you" in Dylan's photo and Ruth Goode's quote is so apt. The camera has caught is gorgeous spirit and I can see now why you adore him so much. He looks ready for a beautiful hug! Thank you for sharing him with us!

How thankful I am to see images back again Allie - this one is so special - - his dear little face is a poem itself. The minimal phrasing wrapping the core of this narrative around love is so very apt. Delighting, one in the other with no trace of any generation gap is the written eptimome here of ageless affection. A powerful and poetic combination.
