First and Second Glances

The other day I got on the train and sat down across from a very proper looking English gentleman.  He seemed a little different than the ordinary crowd on the tube.  Dressed in a suit with a color coordinated warm coat and scarf, he looked very reserved and formal.

Then I happened to look down.

I snuck a picture on my phone:  "No. 1 Grandad."  It still melts my heart.  Any proper and completely color coordinated man who will still wear the multicolored socks his grandkids gave him must be a real teddy bear.  First glances aren't always what they seem.  And a loving grandfather is a special, special blessing.  I love you, Pap!  Thanks for being my grandfather!  (I'll try to find a pair of these socks for you!)
