My Grandad's Butter Knife

[emanix]

When I arrived to stay with my Grandad, after he got sick, he was chopping vegetables with a butter knife.

I almost asked him why, but after a moment's consideration I realised I already knew.

for reminding me of my grandad, he was very similiar in outlook, I should remember him more often (the only member of my family that I can remember and want to)

Heartwarming. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, lovely!

Aww, thanks. And yes, my Grandad was not a man who was effusive with his praise, but he did on at least one day hug me and say 'I'm glad you're here', and that was enough.

I'm glad you enjoyed the reading - and I love coming back here too. Makes me feel just a little bit like he's still with us. <3

Thank you so much for this beautiful story. My dad was like your grandad, he could make anything. We are very privileged to have inherited some of these skills and the same mindset. This has inspired me to do more. I will be a grandmother for the first time any day now and hope I can pass it on to the next generation.
