We had a very pleasant evening with Grandma yesterday. She's staying with Mum and Dad for a couple of days on the way back from her 6 week trip to New Zealand. It sounds like she had a wonderful trip (despite the bizarre actions of my Uncle and Aunt, who she stayed with) and she looks really well and happy at the moment.
I sometimes wonder if she suspects I'm gay. It's such a difficult thing. I don't want to tell her in case it upsets her and she finds it hard to accept, because I don't think that's fair. Of course, she might be fine about it and surprise us all, but I don't know that it's worth taking the risk. Last night she did give Steve a kiss as she left, which seemed odd under the circumstances (since he is just "my friend"), but maybe I'm just reading too much into it all and looking for patterns that aren't there? Who knows.
Anyway it's been lovely, as always to spend some time with her. I've been very lucky to be a part of a young family, meaning that I've still got one active Grandparent left. I've spent a lot of time with them over the years and I'm glad of that. I miss Grandad though, even though I didn't see him all that often, I miss the fact that he's not around. He was a very special man.
