Acts of Love - Grandfather and Grandson

While traveling by an auto this morning I noticed a picture of a little kid on the front windshield. Definitely a reminder to the auto driver of someone he loved so much that he wanted to look at his face often. It will surely make his day go easier, bring a smile to his face when he needs it.
It reminded me of a campaign that APSRTC had apparently conducted to reduce rash driving by drivers - they put photos of their families in front of the steering so the drivers are reminded that there are loved ones waiting for them. Apparently it reduced the number of accidents drastically. 

I asked the driver whose picture it was. He said it was a picture of his grandson, his daughter's son (meri beti ka beta hai). I have not seen many grandfathers put up their grandkids pics like this (though every grandparent dotes on their grandchildren). Obviously a very special connection. 

An act of love for sure.
