Your description about watching your parents connecting with your kids was so heartwarming. My parents weren't given that opportunity when my sister had her children. I had never connected with my own grandparents, so I didn't really know what that grandparent relationship looked like.
I knew that when I had my son I would make sure mum and dad got the chance to be grandparents and it was truly beautiful. I remember the day my dad said to me; "You know Donna, you have kids and of course you love them, but grandkids; I had no idea how much you could love someone. I honestly have never felt this before."
My son was the ONLY person that could instantly light dad's eyes up right until he passed away 6 months ago.
