"Some kind of wonderful"
There's nothing quite like watching a wizened old man handle his first granddaughter tenderly with calloused hands marked by years of hard labour, holding her close even as he jokes about being an unpaid nanny.
Amidst the smell of baby powder, puke and drool, hopes and dreams are weaved into a sunshiny rainbow of amazing possibilities, and life at this moment (for them at least) truly is some kind of wonderful.
