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.

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.

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.
