Some of you may remember my post from a couple of months ago about my daughter intending to adopt a little boy, and I was worried because I thought I may not be able to love him. Most respondees said that I would , given time, and that I was 'overthinking' it.
UPDATE: This 2 year-old eventually arrived to live with my daughter, husband and their 5 year-old daughter at the end of November. Everything is going well. Their daughter accepts him, and is loving towards him. And he is a lovely little boy. A bit shy, a bit tearful now and then, but he laughs a lot too.
Christmas Eve - and we all go to a Carol Service at the local church. 'Away In A Manger' is sung, which always makes me tearful. I dig into my handbag for a tissue (feeling embarrassed) and new little grandson - sitting next to me - wants one too. Surreptitiously I wipe my eyes, when there is a little pat on my arm, and he reaches out and dabs my face with his tissue.
Oh! I liked him before, but this is my first moment of pure love for him.
You were all right - I would love him. And I do!
Happy Christmas!

Gulp!!! lump in throat and tearful eyes 
Such a lovely story and I am so glad that you have no worries about LOVE anymore. I'm sure your feelings towards your new DGS will grow and he will be truly special to you forever.
Great story Lyndiloo you have a lovely family.
We have adopted nephews and they have always known they were loved and part of the wider family from day one. How is it that we all loved them straight away? - I do not know!
Enjoy your new GS!
Any tissues left, I could do with one over here? What a lovely post, Lyndiloo. I’m so pleased for you and your family.
So lovely!
