Oh, that was masterful. I am left with a question though. Did he do that just for his grandchild, or was it also his own secret that he'd never been able to fulfil?

It's left me in floods of tears, as I've had an absolutely shit day today and my emotions are shredded. My friend, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer just over a week ago, died this morning. Fuck cancer.

The motivations for the actions of the grandfather are kind of left open and I think not really seeing into his mind is good. It doesn't matter why. We are all different and we just try to help where we can.

I am sorry to hear about your friend. That was so quick.

Hugs.
