“Grandpa, Grandpa. Mommy is chasing me”

The grownup Angie runs into his room following the little Sara .

“Sara Junior, why are you disturbing Grandpa?”

“I don’t want to eat. Grandpa will save me”

Declan smiles at the innocence of the 3 year old.

“yes. I will. But Mommy is right, if you want to grow up to be strong like me, you must eat”

“Show me your hand Grandpa” Declan flexes his biceps.

Sara Jr gives Declan a kiss on cheek and sits on his lap. Angie comes around behind her Dad.

“What are you reading dad?”

Declan shows Angie , the book’s cover . The envelope says ‘THIRUKURAL’, the Esteemed Couplets Written by Thiruvalluvar (2 BC - 2 AD), 1330 couplets, A non religious affiliated book that guided the world for its eternity
