As a kid I wondered is grandad a super hero or a man.
I have never known a man who has come so close to death so many times and survived. from just about cutting off his leg or hitting a curb going over 100km trying to over take a truck on a exit lane to get grand mar to the dance in time.
He was not even scared of bees I found this out when he picked tab and I from school with a car full of bee hives. Just don't make any quick movements or loud noises and you will be fine he said. I...
