Saw a grandpa with his little geand son in the MTR today... The kid was about...2, just about to walk. They go in the train, this grandpa having his hunch back, wearing a suit jacket, can bearly hold the balance himself telling the kid to grap on tight the pole on the MTR. At the beginning i was really upset for the fact that no one is giving up their seats for them, i looked around, they're all healthy adult, apart from one pargent lady. But no one cared, they either keep on napping or playing their PSP! I was stansing by the end of the seats, so i offered to let them take the area so that at least they can lean on it and have one side covered. And what the grandpa replied was inspiring; he said 'no it's ok, he needs to leaen' i mean it's a really simple but true idea, but look around us, how many parents or grand parents are actually being over protective to their kids now?! Looking at them two, grandpa and grandson was moving. By now instead of being angry at those who're sitting down i just quietly pray that the grandpa will stay heallth and the kid would get to spend some more time with him and that he'll grow up as someone great. Because his grandpa took the risk and allow him to fall and learn from experience! I know it might seem to be a very small insistance, but i've got so much out of it. i throught of my own grandpa, whom i grew up with, who loved me so much that in order to protect me, he got his toe stamped on on our way to china when i was really young. I mean at this days and ago, how many family would actually 'trust' their own parents to take care of their child? everywhere the kid go the maid has to go along, even just being out witht heir grandparents. As if the grandparents could bring the parents up but not good enough to teach their grandchildren. instead of respecting the oldest and wisest in the family, the youngest rule!? 

I just truely bless them and thank you for starting my day with love. When they left, they were both smiling, waving me goodbye. That's a picture of love, wish i can post the pic they formed in my head on here so you can share it. The small things matter only if you allow them to affect you and move you, ruin you and change you. god bless
