My Grandfather's Shifty, Beady Eyes

The eye operation my grandfather underwent a few days ago has been even more successful than we had hoped for. He is now able to read without glasses for the first time in 75 years.

It is very strange to be talking to him; when one speaks to another person, the focal point of their gaze is usually the eyes, and one easily forgets how much glasses really do obscure them. My grandfather has blue eyes like mine, a fact I knew, intellectually, but I am more aware of it now, if that makes any sense.

I have only seen my grandfather without glasses a few times... always before bed, or a bath. To see him in the corner right now poring over a crossword puzzle without his glasses is wonderful.
