My father died in December. He had spent the last several years in hospital, and my mother spent a lot of her time        him. That is without doubt, a      situation for any family. And the       was a team of fairly frustrated family members.

My biggest frustration was trying to        why he didn’t make choices that would       him to be involved more fully in the lives of his grandchildren. Yet he      each and every one of them. Every morning he asked my mother which of his grandbabies was going to       that day. He had frequent visits from his collection of loving grandkids. Kids would have the place      up instantly—toys everywhere, cushions off the couches and the TV channel       to their station. Every visit was a kid invasion into his space. Interestingly, he was not at all bothered by the       or chaos at all. He was never       with them and he certainly never shouted at any child. Visits ended with       and kisses.

I felt that relationship wasn’t good enough because he didn’t actually do anything        my children. My dad didn’t read to the children, and certainly        played a board game or did a puzzle with them. He didn’t take them out for        or do any of the other things I saw active grandparents doing with their grandchildren. It made me sad that he was        to get on with the kids.

A couple of weeks after his death, my 9-year-old daughter turned up in my bedroom at midnight to share a

       of him done by herself. Included in the picture were several messages and        —one for each day since he had died. The most striking one to me was“I loved EVERYTHING about you, Grandpa”.

Apparently, I was       . All that time I thought he wasn’t doing anything with his grandchildren, but he was very actively doing the thing that was most        to them. He loved them. And it was all they needed.
