the charm of a three-year-old boy

[Bertha Venation]

Mrs. V. is back home in Tennessee, caring for her elderly parents - her dad with Alzheimer's, her mom his sole caregiver.

Mrs. V.'s dad was in his chair, all tucked in snug under a blanket, when Brayden, her three-year-old great nephew, arrived with his mom. Brayden saw his papaw looking sick and decided to take care of him. He brought papaw a Sprite and said "dink! Dink, Papaw!" Papaw took a drink. Then he brought papaw an apple and said "eat it, Papaw!" Papaw ate some apple. Then Brayden brought papaw a carrot. :rofl: Then he said, "I love you, Papaw."

I wish I'd been there.
