I don't have grandchildren, but I also sometimes feel a special connection with certain kids. For example, one of my cousins, she is a very little girl, about 3 or 4 years old. everytime I see her, we stare at each other a long time, and it is kind of funny when we look at each other in the eyes. It's a kind feeling, like you already get along even though you don't know each other :) I also had this experience with a child I met at a volunteer event. she was a toddler. as soon as we locked eyes, her eyes sparkled and she hugged me. I don't know why, but sometimes when I look at someone in the eye, it looks like their eyes are glowing and its a funny and kind feeling like you want to laugh, like you know and understand each other
