I'll die truly happy as a grandpa; charismatic, sharp-witted and eccentric, with a brutal honesty that'll reliably embarrass the grandkids/progeny's in-laws/friends/neighbors/neighbor's dogs/anything sentient I come in contact with. The grandkids will love me most of all for my anecdotes and philosophies, and the wisdom that one picks up through 15 careers and 5 lifetimes. Some of my stories will draw adoring crowds. Some will cause eyes to roll, like, there goes that rowdy senile bastard again, but by then I'll have everyone captivated and within minutes they'll be tearing up, shaking heads in disbelief, or bravoing. Some of my stories will evoke giggles from children and cause parents to blush and cover their children's ears. My best stories will be simple and poignant, changing the listener's lives forever.
Being a handful of a grandpa is my ultimate goal.
