The man who had the most positive impact on my life when I was growing up was my grandfather. He was just… always there. Always willing to listen. He always had candy to share.
I didn’t like many candies mind, butterscotch and werthers were what he always had on him.
He was my protector for so many years, and he was a fantastic example of what a loving husband was with my grandmother.
I knew they must have had some disagreements, but they never argued in front of me.
… Maybe this is why I’m mild tempered at times? I’m not a fan of conflict because I wasn’t around conflict growing up.
I’m also very soft-spoken. There wasn’t yelling here. Also, wearing the mask has muffled my voice even more.
Hmm…
I still think of granddad when I open a werthers candy. I picked some up recently. Hard candies… and not all — those are things I can suck on a bit to help with the dry mouth.
