My grandfather has forever been one of the most self-sufficient, energetic individuals. My brother and I would have to run to keep up with him when we lived at his house in India; common knowledge for anyone that's ever met him.
Recently, he fell ill and needed an operation, yet a simultaneous heart attack/
stroke/ dangerously low blood sugar postponed it. My Dada being sick, or weak, is like the universe being flipped on its head, like rain falling up or fire being cold. Completely inconcievable.
Well, his health finally stabilized enough for him to be able to get his operation a day ago. I talked to him when he got home. He sounded like a rockstar... Happy and energetic and ready to take on the world. As always. The 80 year old I will be one day.
And, as though his recovery wasn't enough, when I asked him what he wanted for his upcoming 80th bday, he says,
Just come home soon. You comprise everything that makes me happy into one package.
The world's got nothing on me today.
