A Beautiful Bond!

The bond that a parent has with their child is unique and cannot be compared with anything else in the World. However I would like to talk about the extremely special bond that a grandfather shares with his grandson. The bond between Yusuf and his Baba (Abba).
The love that they have for each other is so heartwarming and so beautiful to watch. Abba literally can spend the whole day with Yusuf and not get bored or tired. He carries Yusi for hours on end and then continuously rocks and sings to him just to put him to sleep, without showing any signs of exhaustion eventhough I know his arms are aching with arthritis. Yusuf although only a baby, can sense this unconditional love and so prefers his Baba over any other person and will look for him when he is not around and cry for him if he sees even the sight of him.

Every morning I bring Yusi down and I see Abba sitting on his computer browsing the news, waiting for his grandbaby to wake up. As soon as their eyes meet I see mutual delight on both their faces, as Yusi gestures to go towards his Baba, squealing with excitement, and Abba hugs his his little "Baboo Na." Seeing the happiness on both their faces makes my morning everyday!!
