he didn't care how he hurt people what his words did he didn't care he was a happy-go-lucky rum drinker you know as a man he did what he had to do for his family he provided but as a person he wasn't that great um he had great friends you know in the family in the west indies everyone would think he was this great guy but actually to live with him he was a bit of a monster

The reason why I'm being careful of my words is because my grandfather and I went on a journey in the last two years of me caring for him. And I forgave him. And he explained to me the reasonings behind his treatment towards his children. And it was simply put, what he experienced is what he provided. So there's a level of generational ignorance that was passed down from my grandfather.

And the ricochet of that is... while I'm sitting right here with this book in your hand. There wasn't that much emotional intelligence with my grandparents. You know, they would do something to you, they wouldn't apologise. And that was kind of something the generation that they came from were accustomed to doing. Apologising to your children is not really something that you hear people do.

My mother apologised to me many times. She said to me one time, you know, anything that I experienced in my house growing up, I will not bring here. So my grandfather was just a character that I knew was always miserable, always angry, drinking, loved to watch cricket. And that was basically it. He wasn't a great person to be around if you were looking for motivation or anything positive.

Well, this is going to sound so strange, but in my spirit this morning, I knew you were going to ask me something like that. And I saw that you shared something on your stories. Somebody asked you about their relationship with their mother and your reply was forgiveness and empathy. And that's it, Jay. That's literally it. My mother asked me to care for my grandfather as she was passing away.

And reluctantly, I said yes, because that was my best friend. And I knew that there was a reason behind it. And at the time, I didn't.

want to do it but I just knew for future Megan this is an investment that I actually have to go through and devote myself to and it was literally for that my mother's last lesson was for me to care for my grandfather so I can understand the power of forgiveness I thought I understood forgiveness But I didn't. Looking after my grandfather meant that I had to create new boundaries.

I had to stand up for myself in so many ways. There were so many rumours spread by other malicious family members of mine that were untrue, that I had to work my way around whilst grieving for my mum. My grandfather was left unattended for the years I was looking after my mother when she was passing away from stage four cancer. We actually went to the West Indies.

And when I got back, I assumed that my mother's siblings were looking after him, but they weren't. So when I got back, I was faced with the responsibility of looking after him, renovating his house, bringing him back to a full bill of health, which I did. And during that entire process, there was a level of trust that had to be obtained.

Even helping my grandfather walk again, I had to literally help him walk. And there were times where he would just be like, Pass me the Guinness. I haven't got time for this. I'll just sit here. You know, and then there were other times where he was really determined.
