Dadi’s love is much deeper than mother’s love

As grandparents, they have a relaxed life now. Nani is always in awe of the kids as she has little time to spend with them. She waits for vacations when kids come to stay with her and she showers her love with gifts and surprises. Dadi is different. She has a different set of emotions for her grandchildren. The first child is always the favourite but the second one is no less. And Dadi’s love for them is beyond comparisons.

Dadi’s favourite child

I sensed Dadi’s love for Aishwari when Aadidev was born. She used to keep Aishwari with herself for the maximum time because I was managing with my son. But secretly, she was explaining Aishwari the new bond with her younger brother. At this time, I missed being with Aishwari as Aadidev was taking up my whole time. I was guilty of ignoring her. But my mother in law explained to me that it was just a transition phase. Within a few months, things will be back to normal. It took time but for good only.

As Aishwari grew older, she became her Dadi’s favourite. Dadi showers her immense love on Aishwari in every gesture she does.

Dadi’s love is much deeper than mother’s love

• Dadi doesn’t get irritated while listening to Aishwari’s long stories. She patiently listens till the end and then appreciates. Am I so patient?
• Dadi is so proud to hear Aishwari speaking Sanskrit shlokas perfectly or some lines in English fluently. She is not interested in understanding but admiring her quietly. I doubt do I have the same admiration for my daughter?
• Dadi calls her numerous times to get a glimpse of her and feels happy. Aishwari also listens to her everytime she’s called upon. They have a special bonding and they love to be together. I might crave for my me time and want nobody to call me for hours.

Their bond is priceless

• Dadi narrates epic stories to her with values and teachings at the end.
• She loves without any conditions. She loves simply because she has immense love for Aishwari in her heart.
• She is the happiest when Aishwari scores good marks or wins a basketball match.
• She has gifts as a token of appreciation for Aishwari’s hard work.

My love for my daughter can never be the same as of her Dadi’s. Grandparent’s all saved up love comes out for their grandchildren. Have you noticed this bond between your child and their grandparents?
