Layers of love

There are many layers of love. As a grandparent you begin to realize this concept. You love your own children and whatever happens in life, you love them deeply and unconditionally. 

When a grandchild comes along there is a realization that you are capable of loving even more deeply. The word unconditional doesn't apply to grandparents because there is no condition by which this new level of love can be tested or measured - it just is what it is.
