How Do You Know that your Grandchild Loves You?

My grandson, Logan, shows me he loves me by being really interested in my life and really gets into whatever conversation he is having with me. If he has a buddy over at his house and his Mom ran to the store for a minute, he will still answer the phone if I call just to tell me, "Sorry, Grandma, but I was just about to go ride my bike with my friend, Can I call you later?" and that's when I was really calling to talk to his Mom, my daughter. He could have just let the answering machine get my call.

When he was very little, even as young as 2, he was learning all the different makes and models of cars. He even knew each and every farm and construction vehicle there was. He would ask me what one was and then have to tell me what it was because I didn't know! He was very opinionated about which make of cars were the best ones....I drove and still do drive a Toyota, not one of his favorite kinds of cars. I had to take my son Todd into an early colonoscopy when he was having severe medical problems. That morning, I grabbed food for Todd to eat on the way home from his procedure. Somehow the milk I took fell over and leaked out on the back seat of my Rav4. Spilling milk in your car and having it get into the cloth seats and foam beneath makes it sour and smell like soured milk. Telling this story to Logan to explain why my car smelled and how I was trying to get the smell out, he replied, "Well, I told you, you had a stinkin Toyota!" He is always the jokster and always entertaining while being loving and respectful. And he makes you feel acknowledged. That's how I know he loves me.
