I just woke up and randomly remembered this, it's something that hasn't come to my mind for years.

Our family went to my grandfather's house quite often during my childhood, a 3 hour drive up north.

He was a hardened man. My grandmother who I never met and him spent 4 years in a Nazi labor camp during WW2 then they finally escaped and fled to America after the war ended. He used to smoke cigarettes but the second hand smoke from his addiction ended up giving my grandmother lung cancer and she died from it. He stopped smoking as soon as she got cancer but it was too late. The events of his tough life working in factories, being imprisoned by the Nazis, and ultimately 'killing' his own wife made him into a rough and unhappy man. Often times while we were eating if one of us said something he didn't like he'd snap and slam the wooden table with his fist, and all of us would eat the entire meal in complete silence.

He didn't talk much at all. I was kinda too scared to talk to him. Our only interaction was basically forced interaction through my parents or him telling me to do the dishes to which I always instantly obeyed. Though we did watch Matlock together on his old crappy TV set from time to time.

Though my brother and I loved going to his house because he'd always have his special recliner chair and the crevices of it were always filled with loose change that fell out of his pocket. As a child I didn't realize he did it on purpose. He knew we loved finding those quarters and he loaded up his pockets before sitting down in the chair just to let them spill out for us. I was too naive to realize this at the time but it brought him joy seeing us happily scouring for a few bucks.

One day I finally grew the courage to ask him a question "Grampa why don't you talk much?" he replied "Successful people don't talk much. They listen and take action."

Later that day my parents, my brother, him, and I were at the supermarket. We walked past an aisle with a bunch of like goblin figurine thingies. I grabbed 1 of the goblins and tried to put it in the cart "MOMMY CAN I HAVE THIS?" My parents were very good at not spoiling us though, "No put that back." I sadly put it back.

My grandpa then walks up without saying a word, grabs 5 fucking goblins, and throws them in the cart and continues pushing the cart with his standard angry mug look on his face. My mother didn't dare question it.

I stood there frozen in the middle of the aisle. Half of me filled with pure joy for getting 5 goblins, the other half in awe of the fact that he demonstrated exactly what he meant in our conversation earlier. After seeing how happy I was my mom gave me a glance and cracked a little smile.

RIP!

That's pretty amazing to have a family member that went through all of that and still have his heart in the right place. My father was kind of similar, he lost 3 brothers in Vietnam, among a lot of other things. However, he certainly didn't come out of it with many virtues intact.

I guess heat melts some things, and forges others.

Grandparents. Don't you love them? My grandparents are fricking awsome. During my childhood I remember spending countless hours at my grandparent's house.

Sucks what happened to your grandpa. Good to know his heart is still shining!!

Good story. There's a social expectation for men, especially in previous generations, not to speak about their feelings, but it's always nice to hear how they escape anyway through actions, whether by leaving the quarters in the chair or by getting those goblins. I know that's not the point of your story, but that's what I take from it

to be honest was expecting a very different kind of blog entry, maybe about that story you told me about last night roflrofl but this was a pleasant surprise. those subtle, yet everlasting lessons you learn really stick with you forever. i'm glad that despite his scariness he showed his compassion through the coin-slipping/goblins... he may not have been the most affectionate with words but i def think actions > words and he def showed that through his own gruff ways. <3 rip to him~

My grandparents live half way across the country unfortunately (I never knew my other grandparents), so I've never really gotten too close to them. This made me really sad because I know that they're not going to be around for too much longer, as my grandfather has been having a lot of health problems recently. I wish that I could have gotten to know them better, and hopefully my grandfather is around long enough for me to see him at least a few more times.

Writing this made me realize that I have never experienced the loss of someone close to me, and that I'm really dreading losing someone I love. Damn : (

The little things that you only come to realize when you look back, such as that of him dropping the change on purpose, that really get you. Just a short passage like, I think everyone can tell that he was a good man. May he rest in peace.

ROFL, I actually did laugh aloud when your grandpa grabbed "5 fucking goblins" and through them into the cart. I am extremely lucky/thankful to still have all four grandparents, all of whom are totally awesome and fun to be around.

My grandmother on my mother's side is possibly my favorite person in the world. Grandparents are awesome, your grandfather sounds super awesome, 5/5.

Now I want grand kids though.

My grandpa was pretty damn baller too. He had 7 sons and daughters and he started all of their names with C(the seven C's as it were).

They all had quite a few grandkids and so when we had a family reunion with all 50-60 of us his speech went as follows: "My father told me real men don't cry." *He kicks the wall* "That was a lie" He says, crying. But not like sadness crying, like happiness crying, considering he caused about 50 more people to be on the earth. Pretty legit guy imo.

This really meant a lot to me. My grandpa has been in and out of the hospital for lung cancer the last couple of years and as of today he is expected to have less than two weeks to live. He was released from the hospital to go to his house (apparently it's better to die at home?) and I am getting to drive up to see him tomorrow. But this definitely made me start crying, and I really enjoyed the read.

I really enjoy reading anecdotes like these, thanks for sharing.

This makes me think of my own grandfather, who's been a farmer his whole life, He stopped working when he was well over 70 after breaking his ribs and suffer a severe concussion from falling down from a roof, this went to him going blind not long after.

There are different kinds of good writers. There are those who write as if giving a speech, who use words that move men to tears and women to swoon. There are those who describe in a thousand words what could be done in a hundred, giving the reader an intimate and personal experience. There are those who can find the subtle quirks of the English language and use them to make the reader feel what he or she wants the reader to feel.

Writers like Rekrul, though, exude a quiet, folksy brilliance in their writing. It is not complex; it is not detailed beyond necessity, it is simply there. And the simplicity of it and its presence is pure, vulnerable, beautiful.

It's how life changes. For me having Birthday or Christmas presents as a kid was always exciting and we waited. Now days when you are a bit older you don't really enjoy getting presents but rather giving them and seeing happy faces/smiles. You feel very guilty if you get too much presents and almost obligated to do same thing even though you know they don't want presents.

Traditions too, you like it when you are younger but when you grow older it gets "stupid". Yet when you have your own kids (I don't have) you will try to continue do same traditions.

Grandparents usually always treats grandkids better than their own kids. Rekrul case is typical 1920-1930 born grandparents which were strict all around.

This reminds me of a lot of the best writing from the Prairie Home Companion or whatever the heck that radio show's called. Not flashy, just honest and intimate.

I miss my dead grandmother. Fuck~~

I never cried for her, almost but never teared. I don't know why but something inside me feels that death is a part of something more meaningful than a loved one gone, not in a religious way but in a spiritual way. I don't believe in heaven but she fits there perfectly.

Her death really didn't mean much but when I miss her, I miss her dearly. Never been a good grandson to her but I've been the most caring for her. Damn it. I fucking miss her.

Thanks for reminding me my dead grandmother. I'm smiling actually. Near teary but smiling .. Thank you

Amazing man.
I remember little about my grandfather, he serverd WW2 as a doctor/medic, and all when I was younger I thought that he hated me, just for being left-handed (something related to religion). I really didn't like him and the idea of visiting him really scared the hell out of me.
One day, he got really sick from smoking. He moved to my town to get better medical treatment, and we got really close since then, since I visited him almost every day. Few weeks before he dies, he told me I was his favorite grandson and apologised for saying bad things to me when I was younger. That brought me to tears.
When I read your story, I remembered so much of him.
Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes people suffer things in life and then feel they can push others around for not experiencing what they have. I kind of imagine that the mom acquiesced to the wishes of the grandfather. I'd be pretty ashamed to have my own kids afraid of me over something like that. Sorry, but it is my nature to point these things out, rather than fawn over a popular poster.

Holy shit, that "Successful people don't talk much. They listen and take action." blew my mind. I don't recognize myself as a particularly successful person as I'm not rich nor very highly educated, but I enjoy my life and my current job a lot. I listen to other people and myself and take action. Particularly today that quote hit the spot. :D

Having any kind of relationship with your grandparents is such a great thing. You look at the relative comfort in which we live our lives and then look at what they experienced in their time and it's impossible to imagine that we can't learn a lot from them - even if the lessons are only communicated in seemingly meaningless actions or the odd grumbled statement, as they often are. It's a sad truth that a lot of us don't realize what an opportunity we have until they're already gone.

My Oma recently passed and she had this thin, little, gold wedding band. After the war, my Opa was assumed dead as he had been missing for years. He returned one day to find my Oma waiting and wanted very badly to marry her. Being that the war had devasted Europe and people had no money to speak of, let alone money for rings, my Opa's mother gave him her wedding band so that he could wed his beloved. My wife wore that same thin, weathered band when she and I got married. I think about everything that ring has seen and I wish the people who wedded with it were still around so that I could ask them more =(.

Somewhere I once heard "Parents have to say no, grandparents get to say yes" and that always seems to be the case. My grandparents on mom's side both died over a decade ago. Grandpa had a stroke before I was born, stuck in a nursing home. We'd visit him often with grandma. They were both poor but they'd do anything for us. Even something so simple as having Nutty Bars, which cost like a buck for a box of, always on hand. It's the simple things. I know I made grandma cry once when I was being a piece of shit and I'll never get to say sorry for that. But being older and wiser now they're missed a lot.

On dad's side grandma died just a few years ago. Parkinson's took her pretty quick. Dad's side was more well-to-do and grandma made it a point to spoil us when we were around. I wouldn't eat apple pie so she'd always make me my own pinwheels so I could have a treat. When working on building their master bedroom with grandpa she'd always have lunch waiting for us. We finished the bedroom a week before she died so she could at least see it. Grandpa used to be a hard, mean old man, much more so before I was around, but even as a kid I remember him cussing me out for walking through the mud in the backyard. He's still around, the last of my grandparents but Alzheimer's is taking him. Even now he's a shell of his former self, but luckily I was able to learn from him before he lost all he knew. No one knows how to do shit better than an old guy, they're crafty bastards lol. He did warm up as I grew up, eventually working side by side quite often we grew quite close. He became much more generous and kind, I learned a ton and he became my favorite person in the world. Though it makes it harder to see him struggle now, knowing how sharp he was not long ago.

That was a touching story. Being a grandparent must be fun. You get to spoil your grandkids and let your kids be the "bad guys" who deal out the discipline. When I was like 8 my parents had me on this extremely strict diet (no wheat, no yeast, no peanuts, no sugar, no food-coloring, no mint, no apples, no grapefruits, no grapes, no milk, no eggs, did I mention no sugar?). So anyway, I wasn't allowed to eat anything good, and it sucked. And at my grandparents house, there were always sweets galore that my cousin always got to eat, and we had dessert after every dinner. But every now and then, I'd be walking through the yard below the deck, and a bite-sized snickers bar or two would come falling down, and my Grandfather would wink at me. My folks had told him not to give me anything that tasted halfway decent, but hey, what are grandparents for, right?
He knew I wouldn't get myself caught (I was a rather "lively" child, and was frequently at odds with the rules).

But yeah, its the "little" moments like this that make me really hope that my own kids will get to meet their grandparents. My parents were both 40 when they had me, though, and I plan to wait about that long before having kids ("don't rush it" they always say), so I guess it could be cutting it close.
