The above sketch was drawn by our Grandson Manu 9 years of age and shows clearly how well he looks closely at his Grandpa’s face. On the back was a little message and I am sure he won’t mind if I share it with you.
To Grandpa, I love you and I hope you see this every day and think of me. Remember to take all your pills and you’ll be OK! Buckets of love, Manu XXXXX
How simple, uplifting and complete this little message is. Manu declares his love for his Grandpa, then states a fact or two, gives good advice, and no more is needed. There is much love and thought through the eyes of this child. I wish life was as simple as this little note.

How articulate and perceptive in one so young and so concerned about his Grandfather. His drawing is special; dear little Manu. I have a Grandson the same age.
Yes he really is, there is such a lovely bond between them. It is such a wonderful age, delightful in everyway.We are so lucky aren’t we. My best wishes to you Alaine.
Thank you, Susie (and Manu, too) for sharing this special drawing and message. Looks like he may have some of his dear Grandma’s wonderful writing skills. xxx
Thank you Dianne – he is such a clever boy so bright and happy bringing much joy into our life.
