I didn’t think he noticed when his Bubba and Papa strolled into the den as there were so many guests gathered around him. His great aunt and uncle brought their dog, Clyde, who was running around between everyone's feet. The room was loud and chaotic. Then, a few minutes after I quietly arrived, I felt two-and-one-half year old Henry give me a bear hug from behind as I knelt down to smile at his five-month-old sister. I quickly turned around and gave Henry an all embracing hug. I was caught off guard and was amazed how Henry noticed I had arrived, in a split second, he'd stopped what he was doing to let me know he was happy I was there. It doesn't take very much to make someone feel special. I am so lucky to have this little human, my grandson, in my life!
