Blessed

My grandfather held a birthday celebration at a restaurant at Damansara Kim last night. He's 81 years old, not in the best of health but I can see that he was really happy last night. Now, my grandfather and I wasn't very close (long story, eons ago...) but when I saw him last night, he was close to tears and he wanted a hug from me. I hugged him and he kissed me on the cheek. At that point of time, I was quite touched and honestly, I was about to tear as well. For 28 years, my grandfather had never even bother to hold my hands nor even give me a call to ask about my well being. As such, I have never had a strong bond with him. But seeing him last night, just changed my whole perception towards him. Perhaps, he is getting old and he knows that he doesn't have much time left, so, he wants to make things right. Mom is right, no matter what happens, nothing can change the fact that grandfather is still her father, and he is still my grandfather. When we bid farewell last night, I gave my grandfather a hug and told him that I will pay him a visit whenever I am free. That's a promise... :)
