Grandparents Love - A day at Singapore Recreational Club


it's funny to watch your parents react to baby joshua. Sort of like bring back the memories that was in you when you were really small (but yet never really there). But its lots of love of love from their eyes and you can tell.



it is almost like them revealing a part of themselves which they were trying so hard to hide from you, afraid that you would take those loving eyes for granted. Afraid that if they reveal too much of love for their child, you would one day use that against them.

its really fun to be observing this while being there, taking the photo shot.
