Somebody was screaming that the baby was still inside.
People sometimes ask what it was like growing up with a grandpa instead of parents, and I never know how to answer that. Because to me, it was just life.
Grandpa packed my lunches with a handwritten note tucked under the sandwich. He did it every day from kindergarten through eighth grade until I told him it was embarrassing.
He taught himself to braid hair from YouTube and practiced on the back of the couch until he could do two French braids without losing track. He showed up to every school play and clapped louder than anyone.
