Thursday was a busy and bustling day. Full of family, fun and food.
Friday was the complete opposite. All I wanted was a nap.
Didn’t get it.
Gpa was very restless. Going from one room to the next. If he took a nap, it was for about 5 min. I’d get settled and here he’d come.
Took him for two rides. One I cut short because he kept popping the seat belt off.
Early Saturday morning, he said he had to talk to me. I thought he was going to ask for a cookie. But he didn’t. He repeated that he wanted to talk to me sometime.
Sounded serious.
I stopped what I was doing and gave him my full attention.
“I’m lonely. I’m a lonely man.”
Broke my heart.
“Do I have any relations, and family?”
OH, is this what was going on yesterday?
“Yes, I’m your granddaughter.”
“You? You are family? I am so happy. So happy.”
Again, broke my heart.
It doesn’t take much for Gpa to be happy. A cup of coffee, a cookie, a ride in the car, family to love and be loved.
