+1. Sounds intriguing o.O

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.

Damn. Everything you post is just perfect. I'll keep those words in mind.

Great blog, great message. Thanks.

"Successful people don't talk much. They listen and take action."
Really love that. RIP.
You write really well btw, I love your blogs.

That quote "Successful people don't talk much. They listen and take action." is so gold.
Awesome story.

It's one of those old sayings or something right? Something like "A fool opens his mouth, a wise man opens his mind."

5/5, nice story. Going to listen (to my manager) and take action (write the damn report) -_-;;

Holy shit. That is fucking awesome. If only I'd employed this technique when I was a kid.
Oh wait, I was so spoiled I got everything anyway! Hahahahahaha I'm a bastard
RIP to your grandpa, he sounded like a true baller. Not the Artosis anybody-in-code-s-who-wins-a-game-is-a-baller kind of baller, but a REAL baller.
Also monarch u officially turned the collective of TL against u good job!

So when is Rekrul goign to write an auto biography? I wants one, I needs one. It will be called my precious and I will try to wear it on my hand at all times.
But seriously. Awesome wiritng. I have a grandfather like that, quiet and can get angry sometimes, but in general very caring and only wants to see us happy.

My grandpa was somewhat similar. Never talked and i was scared as fuck of him. Yours sounded like a great guy!
RIP!

Ahahahahahaha I'm sorry but this is an awesome post, puttputt, the best response. I read that blog by Monarch yesterday, and was appalled at how he treated Rekrul. Thanks for the story Rekrul, it was really touching and makes me want to appreciate my grandparents further, RIP Rekrul's grandfather!

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.
