It is clear that Peggy is impressed with the physical transformation Steve goes through when he becomes a super soldier. However, it is also clear that her admiration for him started back when he was just a skinny young man with a good heart.
Now, if Peggy's happy family was shown five years before the latest Avengers film and Marvel still maintained that movie's choice, then those who think Captain America's ending makes no sense would have their arguments fueled by the fact that Steve Rogers' time travel erased Peggy's children in the new timeline he ...
The moment where Peggy Carter touches Steve's chest was unscripted, and the result of actress Hayley Atwell being genuinely impressed by Chris Evans' physique.

Peggy and Steve's time together was cut short during World War II after Steve crashed Red Skull's ship, but that wasn't the end of their story. They were reunited after Steve was unfrozen, but only for a short while before Peggy passed of old age.
In the season three episode "Emancipation", which occurs during the events of Captain America: Civil War, a newspaper headline is shown that says Agent Carter has died at the age of 95. She appears in Avengers: Age of Ultron in Rogers's 1940s hallucination caused by Wanda Maximoff.

From childhood best friends to spending decades apart, Steve and Bucky's relationship in the MCU was paved with love, struggle, and loyalty.

During her retirement, Peggy lived in a nursing home and started suffering dementia where she couldn't recognize Sharon. William Burnside later visited Peggy claiming to be the original Captain America. Following her death, S.H.I.E.L.D. erected a memorial statue of her outside the S.H.I.E.L.D.
He DIDN'T kiss his granddaughter. That would make Sharon Carter Peggy's granddaughter as well, which she is not. Sharon is Peggy's great-niece, meaning that, in the timeline where Cap marries Peggy, Sharon is his great-niece as well. However, when he kissed her, he did not know that yet.
