My 97 year old grandfather fought in ww2 and he always used to tell me stories about the ww2, he was just 18 when he faced battle for the first time and his company’s symbol was an 8-Ball or something like it.
So i wanted to show him this pendant to make him happy about the old days as his company symbol was an 8-Ball. My grandfather never been a huge fan of Jewellery. But I managed to get him to wear it out.
I explained that he’d look cool with it and get loads of compliments but he didn't understand at forst, so I got my Nan to push him to wear it. His first impression was... Quiet. And he still was figuring everything out. But after 2 minutes he stood up. And went outside for a walk.
When he came back it was time for dinner. then he bursts out crying. ‘I’m so happy’ he said. Then he kept on crying. I was lost for words and so was my Nan.
So we all silently finished eating our food and smiled. I felt happy that I could make him smile as he hasn’t for quite a while.
10/10 if it can change my grandads life, it sure as hell can change yours xxx
