This photo makes me all kinds of happy.
My son goes back to college tomorrow after a wonderful holiday break.
After dinner, he turned to my mom and said, “Will you rub my head for awhile?”
Ever since Josh was born, he and my mom have shared a very special bond. She rubbed his head from the time he was a toddler and he never outgrew it.
The fact that he is a college freshman and will be 19 years old in less than three months matters not at all. The unconditional love they share is a beautiful thing and I was so grateful that I could capture this moment in time.
My mom’s favorite role in life is that of grandma. And she is a stellar one. (I love that she was even wearing her favorite “Grandma” sweatshirt. I couldn’t have planned it any better!).
Karl Lagerfeld once said, “Photographs capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.”
That is why I love what I do.
That pic is beautiful and encourages me….my grandson 12. And feel like petty soon grandma won’t be so special….been building relationship …hope that thread will always keep us close.
I am so glad this post encouraged you, Judy. The bond between a grandma and a grandson is a very special one. Knowing what a wonderful person you are, I am certain that you and he will stay close. 🙂
