Moments with Grandchildren

After coming back from a recent trip to Perth, KK is liked a torture chamber because of the exceptional hot weather. Literally 36 degrees C everyday.

Spending time with our fast growing up grandchildren is always a welcome break. Knowing the special bond the grandparents have with them, they know how to take full "advantage" of the presence of their grandparents. The most frequent request of Nathan to the gung-gung or po-po was: Asked to be carried. Of course, he would not be disappointed at most occasions. Though technology has enabled grandparents to communicate with the grandchildren via Skype, it is still a very different experience to be able to feel and hug each other.

Grace is growing at a phenomenal speed. By the time I left Perth, Grace was able to stand unaided for at least 3-4 seconds.

Nathan is maturing fast into a young boy. One of the things I am most impressed is his ability to verbally express his feeling - sad, happy or felt loved. This is truly a quality rare among most people.

It was a feeling of endless happiness when Grace responded and crawled towards gung-gung and po-po whenever she sensed the signal for her to come. Indeed, grandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing old.
