Meaning
This reads as an honest surprise at how quickly affection can return in a new form. It points to the fear of feeling distant from the next generation, then to the relief of finding that the bond arrives immediately and fully. It lands for anyone who worries that love will feel secondhand with grandchildren, only to discover it is its own kind of devotion.
