Grandfather and Cake pops?

About 5 years ago my grandfather started losing his eye sight. For the longest time he didn't let it affect him until it started getting worse. He has a condition called Macular Degeneration, which starts slowly and it starts off by missing holes in your sight. Essentially it's like looking through a pasta strainer. He can't drive, he made his garden smaller (which is his life) and started becoming depressed.

Recently he's seemed to be more cheery and more involved in our lives. He has started trying to not let it effect him, although, everyone has their days. Anyways the reason i'm writing this is because my sister and I often make cake pops for special events i.e. weddings, birthdays etc. We we're making these black and pink cake pops for someones birthday.

He saw us making these cake pops and as usual said to us "Ma, you two never stop baking do you?" and of course sat down and started watching. It was only a matter of time before he became interested and started helping us dip the cake pops in chocolate.

Recently, he has become more involved in our lives and not as "angry" as he use to be. Although, he's become more accepting of what has happened to him his eyes are continuously getting worse. Thankfully his attitude is getting a lot better and has his funny days... where he thinks he's hilarious but does it in a mean way. We've just come to accept that thats the way he deals with things so we ignore what ever it is that he decides to say to us.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, I probably have the cutest grandfather. In the words of my nonno,

 "Too many chiefs, not enough indians."
