Me and my grandfather
My grandfather is the only one of my grandparents who speaks English. He's the only one I've ever been able to talk to with out an interpreter.
My grandfather is man who sits silently with his thoughts. And smiles when he hears the words "not bad"
As long ad I've known him those two words have been the reason he's smiled.
He has twelve kids, not the best people in the world, but not bad.
He's never been well off but he took care of his whole family. Not bad at all.
His wife drives him nuts and they can only agree that they don't agree with anyone else either.
My grandfather sits with his thoughts, he enjoys everything a little too much, and loves the phrase "Not bad"
He's been a criminal when his brother needed him the most. He's survived every mistake he's made and he always finds a new one to make next time.
My grandfather cheats at games as though he was the devil, argues like he's been told the truth by god, and acts likes he's going to die tomorrow, every day...
My grandfather understands and accepts that he has a selfish nature. He loves when people share in his joy but he couldn't care less when he's not invested.
My grandfather smiles, sighs and nods at the phrase "not bad"
