Growing up my grandpa and I had the relationship that a grand kid has with her Grandfather. I looked up to him and looked forward to visiting with him. When my grandma passed away she made him promise he’d watch out for me and take care of me. He would pick me up from preschool and kindergarten everyday.
He would bring his dog everyday and in the short drive I’d talk his ear off and he’d never hear me. My grandpa couldn’t hear out of his right ear very well… I had no idea so i continued to talk… His dog would stand in the back seat and lick his ear as we drove to my baby sitters house.
I couldn’t tell you what a single conversation was about but it was moments just to spend time together… that began our relationship. That began the times I’ll never forget.
