uplifting
Grandfather called me, for no other reason than wanting to hear me. Its
a rare occurance, he finds the idea of calling abroad daunting (in a
"what if I dial wrongly and somebody answers who only speaks English
sort of a way"). We
did not have any particular news to share, he wanted to check
everything was ok our end. We talked about my Mum, about my cousin,
about their 12th great grandchild due in November. Simple everyday
family stuff yet it warmed me more than any amount of giggly juicy
gossip could.
Ah well, simple things please simple minds...

(17.5.05 07:22) Well isn't that nice to hear from Grandad! I wish I had known my grandfathers. Both were long, long gone by the time I came along. |
