Birthday.

A jolly birthday to her Grandpeppy Lee. He is good.

Sometimes a simple word is the best way to describe something complex. He is a complex figure, and “nice” didn’t quite work. Not that he’s not nice. It’s just that it didn’t feel quite right. But good? He is a good human being, and for today, I like the sound and the meaning. He is a flawed hero, like all the real heroes are. But that is part of what makes a hero a hero, is being both flawed and good.

Her grandpeppy is a good man, and he loves her very much. Of that I am certain. I am also certain there will come a point where she will tease the socks off him and frustrate him into the ground. Of that I am certain, and I rejoice at the thought.
