"For Grandad"

uh....

An hour ago last year.. My Grandad passed away and in honour of one of the most amazing men to live in my eyes. I posted a poem so you could know some of him to

For Grandad.

Sssh, it’s quiet now
I don’t hear your voice
I miss that loud laughter
And your soothing noise

Stop, don’t go away
Sit, talk more about the boys
Tell me of your RAF days
While painting your toys

Come, sit next to me
On the leather chair
Let me lay on your belly
As you gently pat my hair

Don’t, don’t walk away
I’m here to listen now
Teach me of so many things
Tell me why and how

Hold, hold my hands
They’re as cold as ice today
You say ‘They’re bloody freezing!’
And in your hands they stay

Look, how much I’ve grown
In body and in mind
You tell me just how proud you are
You always are so kind

Smile, at all of us
We are all here for you
Nanny’s cooking dinner
We know you love your food

Thank you, for every time
And everything you are
I think of you every day
Even though you are so far

I love you, more –
Than words can ever say
But thank you,
Grandad; for everything, today.

I'm not denying they were furious. I'm intrigued to find out how you know they were hypocritical.

You're telling me those words weren't hypocritical nor written in a furious manner?

So just from those words on a screen, you can tell exactly the motivation behind him saying them?

I think the above pretty much answers that...

How do you know that's what they're doing?

True enough. But most of the time the people who respond as such aren't doing it to put down the other person and make them feel stupid - they're doing it in righteous hypocritical fury mode.

Ah, I wish I was at home. With a big TV and PS2. Those are the kind of luxuries money just can't buy.

Well, it can, obviously, but it shouldn't be able to.

aah, i hear that. still, better to stay up late and work at home than have to use the uni's pitifully outdated equipment.

Haha, no, not nights. At university. I wish it was due to heavy drinking nights or something, but it's not.

do you work nights or something??
that's pretty hectic for everyday life :S
