Ass, Fathers Day, and Life: deanlied
reasons why my grandpa is the best
.he made my wife and i (i'm a woman) a giant banner for our one year
anniversary
when i was pregnant, the baby was kicking and when he touched my
belly, the baby stopped and he called him a little shit
.
. he once called and left a voicemail asking how to spell styrofoam
. he flipped a table bc he saw someone hit a dog
. he beat skrim in 4 days
.he served in the korean war and when he came home, he learned
korean so if he ever ran into a korean vet, he could "give them the
same respect he'd give an american vet"
my son has two moms and there was a "special guy in your life" day
at his school for father's day so my grandpa went and showed up in
dress pants and a pressed shirt bc he "didn't want to embarrass him".
also, there was a little boy who didn't have anyone there and grandpa
asked if he could be his "special guy" and the little boy beamed
he knows all of the secrets to the zelda games
he's had 4 open heart surgeries and can still kick your ass
