I actually believed that producing his first grandchild on his birthday , and giving the boy his grandads name as a middle name would do the trick.... But no. And whereas he does have a close bond with his eldest grandchild, his daughter I'm afraid, remains very much a "disappointment"...

Wow. You sound like me. I’m very sorry for your pain. As I’m sure you know, it is not you who is the disappointment. ❤️

A free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wing
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.
The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.
