Here's Raf and dad meeting for the first time at the airport. I know I've shared it before.
Dad loved spending time with him. Raf at the time was going through a phase of sucking on people's fingers (he didn't have a pacifier). Now, those who know dad might remember the incredibly rough skin on his hands and, especially, his fingers. This is the man they couldn't get a fingerprint from at US customs! But sweet old Dad scrubbed his hands and fingers so that Raf could suck on one of his fingers... at 3 months, though, Raf had discerning taste and wouldn't suck on his Grandpa's pinky even for a second!
Instead they enjoyed nice cuddles. I think they're watching the Grand Prix here.
Oh what a sweet photo! It brings tears to my eyes. Many hugs to you, Alex.
