That is a beautiful memory of you and your grandpa. I was smiling the entire time while reading. Then you wrote the last part, and Mission Accomplished on your part again, you made my heart feel good.

I might be gambling wrong, I always pick the one that costs the least. My sister told me to bet higher, and she does win, but loses it. Like you, if I won more than I started with, I would pocket all but my starting amount, that is if I ever won anything.
