Theme: Affection for grandparents 

Grandpa's laugh

- I woke up at night mom, listening to grandpa's laugh, and I felt his strong embrace. He was very happy and smiling.

Can anyone already disembodied visit us?

- While we sleep, the spirit can go out and meet spirits incarnate or disembodied son. So your meeting may have happened.

- It was all so real. He even squeezed my fingers, one by one, as he always did, and he said: Kill lice, stick cake, everyone's father, your neighbor, little finger... I miss grandpa so much mom! Why did he leave us so early?

- Son, every one of us has a time to stay on Earth, and only God knows the time we have to leave. But the bonds of affection don’t end with desincarnation. We can find who we love during sleep, and lessen our homesickness!

- I could have enjoyed more his company, but sometimes I'd rather stay on my cell phone. What a pity! - Thought the boy.

- Son, gramma Carmen is alone now and needs company! You also have grandpa Carlos and gramma Marta. They like you and have a lot to teach you.

- Mom, none of them have the fun laugh of grandpa Geraldo.

There was a small silence, and the boy continued:

- But you're right, I'll keep together to my grandparents. Can I borrow the cell phone, Mom?

- Hi Grandma! All right? - you hear next.

- Hi, my grandson! – Grandpa Carlos responds in surprise.

- I'm just calling to say good night. Send a kiss to gramma. Love you. I'll be there tomorrow. Big kiss.

Lucas turned and saw that his mother was looking at him with approval. Then he ran toward her saying,

- I love you too, mom!

- I love you too, son!

The coexistence between grandchildren and grandparents brings great benefits to all. Children learn to respect their elders and understand their limitations. With more experience, grandparents have much to teach. And they remain more active and happy with the presence of the grandchildren.
