My middle grandson (at 22 months) – post-trauma of trapping his finger…

~

His pain is crystal clear

Glistening in tiny tear

Etched in those sad eyes.

No-one can disguise

~~~

He feels his world has ended

He’s crying to be tended

Finger trapped in door

By brother – oh how sore !

~~~

Brother unaware

Grandma’s loving care

Grandad takes a snap

To comfort little chap

    Hurrah for grandparents :) the special angels in our kids lives. When my parents died, my daughter and my niece and nephews took it pretty bad as if they lost their soul mates.
