This is so very heartfelt. Happy birthday to your grandad.

Lady Mel, let your grandpa know I'm sending birthday blessings. Scrambled eggs, this is so sweet-

Sometimes, loss of our dear ones change us.
May be your grand dad isn't pretending, or he has really changed.
Everyone deserves a second chance.
And happy birthday to your grandpa.

Miss Mel
I can sense that everything has changed since your sad loss. It's so difficult to get heads round loss and we all grieve in our own ways.
Sending love and thoughts
Michael :)

Happy birthday to your grandad. I also believe in second chances. Be blessed.

:( ....stone hearted man showing glimpses of frailty, cooking eggs for the first time. Powerful image. Hope he is doing well Mel and hope you are as well.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!
Mel this is so very poignant, and so astute of you to realise what lies behind his uncharacteristic hospitality with the eggs. I think often the death of a family member or spouse forces us to reassess our place within a family and adjust accordingly. Love this :-) x

Such homey words. Though your omelet was perfect dear Liz.

Awh, this was warming and this bit right here made me laugh;

"the scrambled eggs was great
but was a little overly done
like your drama;"

I love your style of writing - and I hope your grandpa also got to read this ^-^

Aww, this is lovely. A true ode to a man you love. Catherine x
