cataract both eyes, grandpa could not read news,
grand daughter six, offered to read him the Times,
she not only read but also gave her views,
her lisps of names and events were so sublime,
end of her reading, grandpa gave her a kiss,
”I never knew the world was as good as this!”

How lovely, Krish! We find sweetness in suffering. I’ve become closer to my dad since mom passed away 7 months ago. Congrats!
