Partially, I wasn't sure what to say. Your grandpa reminds me a lot my own, and the idea that we'll both lose ours someday breaks my heart. Here's to making the most of whatever time we have ...

I've got a grumpy hard working grandfather too. He looks like an Armenian version of Shrek. Yeah arguing with old people is fun, their views have a lot more wisdom and watching them tell stories with passion is great. I sometimes have to try and forget how PC a discussion is with my Pop and forget about lecturing him on certain topics. I can tell I’d like your grandpa from this story.

I'm sorry your grandfather's health is declining, but it sounds like he's still got plenty of energy, waiting for the proper outlet. I'm glad you provided that for him, and I'm sure it made him feel better as well. Losing my grandparents reminded me of how temporary our stays on this planet are, and how we need to spend time with people while they're still around. There were times when I could have visited them and didn't ... and now I wish I had. So I'm really glad you went to visit your grandfather. I really enjoyed this post.
