The love of a child for his unknown grandfather
I have a story to tell that I found truly touching and uplifting.
I have a long term friend that I met in high school. In his early 20s his mother passed away from cancer and soon after his father moved the family to a new residence. The father soon met another woman who was separated with kids and they moved in also. They became a sort of Bradey bunch.
I really do not know the details of what happened but the end result was a very serious family rift with the younger sister of my friend refusing to even talk to her father. This rift continued long after the father divorced the new wife who I am told was a chronic alcoholic.
Slowly the relationship between father and his children had been healed with the exception of the youngest daughter who still refused to speak to him. She now had her own family which her father had never met.
There was an impromptu family gathering held by my friend and they decided to invite his younger sister hopeful of some sort of reconciliation. He rang his sister and the husband answered the phone. He explained that there was a family gathering and that his father would be present and it would be good if they could come and try to make some sort of reconciliation.
The husband said that they were just on the way out to a dinner but said this was more important and that they would be there.
What happened next is truly beautiful. The younger sister walked into the room with her husband and infant son. The child saw his grandfather sitting on the couch and immediately ran over and jumped in his lap hugging him.
Now what is amazing is the child had never seen his grandfather before and had no idea who he was. I think he is only 3 years old. Even more amazing is the child is normally reserved and shy with strangers and not at all inclined to want to be cuddled. Everybody was speechless and stunned.
This was the ultimate ice breaker. There was no opportunity for any awkward situation to develop. There might still be some issues not resolved but the daughter could not ignore this demonstration of love between her son and his grandfather. The healing and reconciliation process had commenced initiated by the spontaneous expression of love by a small child not old enough to understand any of problems of the past.
The thing to ponder is why did the child was instantly attracted to the grandfather sitting on the couch when he had no idea who he was.
I would guess that the grandfather sat there with great expectations of seeing his grandson for the first time and feeling immense feelings of love. These feelings were picked up by the child as soon as he entered the room.
We are of course talking about vibrations and the Law Of Attraction. Maybe the grandfather had day dreamed (visualized) countless times about this moment. I can think of no other better explanation.
