The English language makes attention an exchange, or a transaction. It asks the giver to invest one’s attention or ‘pay’ (for) it. The question is what does one get in return of it?
My first read of the morning. And I teared up. How beautifully you have described a very special relationship. This in turn has kindled so many stories in my head, someday I will tell them too. And I am curious as to why you put his toys away. Looking forward to that story and many more.
Having just come off a long weekend with my grandmother (who is now 97), Vihaan's relationship with his grandfather feels particularly resonant. Thank you for telling this story.

Such a beautiful bond and so beautifully captured :)
Thank you for reading Sailee…I really do ✨
This is so beautiful.
This is so, so, so endearing❤️ I teared up at the end. You have captured the relationship so well - the love, the tenderness. A very special essay!
I don’t think I’ve done justice to their relationship. I hope to write more until I know I have said it well enough.
