Here is Grandpa Chow(Imaginary name) bracing his grandson's head while napping on a Bus

I tried so hard to choose the most appropirate title for this post, but finally i came up with this: it will be a great pleasure if you can avail me with another Title in the comments below...

We are often carried away by life and it's quest for survival, our passion to be rich, to acquire as many steems and cryptocurrencies as possible which has clouded us from seeing life and all it has bestowed upon us individually.

We compare our lives with that of others, who had made millions from the Blockchain/Altcoins and in real life. But the Blockchain doesn't guarantee our profound happiness, family does and our kids and Grand Children. The reason simply is: they will never forsake us if we go broke!

Seeing your children is a great joy, but seeing your grand children is a great gift nobody could ever trade with, it is a Gift divine! No matter how tough or stubborn nor cold you are, seeing your grand kids makes you soft more than Butter!

Here is a post i dedicate to all Grand Ma's and Grand Pa's, to all Parents and to all single fellas like me😊 on steemit

I know a few: @reddust my foster mom and Talented Grand mother, @kus-knee the wise Old Dog and Grand Pa(I never confirmed that), @mammasitta, my good old friend @richq11, and @stellabelle's mom even though have never had the time to talk to her about her golden Daughter.

So many names to list but i will keep adding in subsequent posts. you guys are the best Gems the Blockchain has to offer me, as the saying goes in Nigeria:

Getting Old is Golden and more precious than Gems...

Even though my Mom and Dad left me to the Great beyond at a tender age, i still see them right beside me smiling down from up there saying everything is Okay. I hope you can read this my dear Felicia and Stephen Oluwole!

The picture inspired me a whole lot to see the beauty Grandparents-hood, i never had any kid yet but am gonna get there someday when i carry my grandchildren and we go for a Walk, until then; to those who had shown me what it's like to have parents both in real life and some on steemit i love you all...

Hey @oluwoleolaide! I have actually seen this a few times living in Japan and as a grand mother to 12 grand children all aged under 12, I'll give it a shot!

The photo is actually taken in a train...if you look to the left you can see the silver double doors of the train carriage and the seat is running along the whole length of the side of the carriage. I only notice this because I've often seen it on my commute while living in Japan...

The fact that grandpa is holding the little boy up with his arm is very touching... especially in Asian cultures where boys/men being 'hands on' with the caring and nurturing can be frowned on, especially in public.

The other thing I thought was so sweet was grandpa was absolutely knackered too...but still he was on duty and doing his grandfatherly best, even while taking a nap!

I think a nice caption might be..."You're in safe hands".

Great post!

Awwwwh!

This means a lot to me, that perfect title have been looking for.....thanks Granny @aussiesteem Bless you to the stars and beyond!

That's very touching

Glad you read through...
