If you ask me what’s my favourite thing, growing up, I wouldn’t blink before saying, ‘listening to bedtimes stories from my dadu (grandfather). And I’m sure, there are many who can relate to going home, to grandparents who spoilt us rotten. To our first BFFs who saved us from the wrath of our parents. And the first ever investors in our then-lucrative career dream, of making it big as a professional candy eating champion!
Well, now that I am close to making that happen, they aren’t with me anymore. But guess what? Their memories will never leave sight. Memories do that you know, stay with you, bringing you all the warmth, right when you need it.
Talking about warmth, somebody from the Twitterverse recently shared a story about her awesome grandfather and I just had to share it with you. @renblankk tweeted,
today for my birthday, my grandpa gave me 3 books filled w stories of each time he hung out w me from the age of 2 to 5. I am speechless.😠pic.twitter.com/fyeOUV1K2J

For Lauren’s birthday, her super cool grandad got her a super special handmade gift, three books about them hanging out together and excuse me, I need a tissue.
Needless to say, other Tweeple resounded my feelings and made themselves heard!
