I confess one thing today
I deeply love (of love and respect) Nick Valentine for a reason
Even if it is only an invented character, he have countless points in common with the man who gave meaning to my life (he even run like him!)
October 1st was the birthday of my paternal grandfather
This man, to sum up, was the greatest man I’ve ever known
He adopted my father at the age of 40 and raised him without ever raising a hand on him (for the time in Quebec it is a feat) then I was an unexpected birth (-somehow indesired) and he raised me in turn, at 65 years old
And believe me, I was a special child
He was an illiterate man, he learned to write his name at 50 years
He was immensely religious but in a very serene and peaceful way, very open-minded towards others, capturing only LOVE and TOLERANCE of all the Catholic bullshit
He was only 5ft 4 inches, which was small for a man even in his time and everyone called him Ti-Henri
His mother died giving birth to him and his stepmother reminded him incessantly that he had killed his mother
His aunt eventually adopted him and raised him with her own son
Despite everything, he had only love and patience for others, a lot of understanding, he never held it against anyone and when I asked him about someone who had hurt him or had abused him, he simply replied to me: listen, he/she must be understood" and he explained to me why the other had done this and why they should not be blamed
He died in 1998, leaving me alone in a world that didn’t know what to do with me
I realized that no one would ever love me the way he loved me
My own father even admitted it one day...
My grandfather would have been 106, he died 25 years ago when I was only 15, but I never let go of the 3 most important rules of my life, the three lessons he taught me:
1- If it has to be done and you can do it, do it
2- Always finish what you start
3- There are enough people who do evil, do good
Without him, I know I would NOT be a good person...
I know that many people encounter many hardships in their lives, but at several times I almost passed the dark side... the existence really made sure that I can often
Very often
Satisfy my anger, my revolt, my vengeance
I have so often held the lives of people who have hurt me in my hands that it is ridiculous
With one word, I could have broken them
I had the means
But each time, I remembered how my grandfather never held it...
I have been recognized for my neutrality and fairness
The power to stay calm in the storm, to hear the despair behind the anger, to have a truly deep understanding of true human nature that allows me to find solutions that satisfy everyone
I owe it to him
When he died, this little unknown and vague man, I had the impression that he was receiving a national funeral
People moved from Ontario, down the river, New Brunswick, the United States, all different people, all people who had at one time or another met him, sometime only once, but whose lives he had changed
One small gesture at a time
My grandfather is the very definition of a small gesture, a great good
He knew how to do good, true good
And I hope to continue to have the strength to respect his memory
I love you, grandpa, I’ll always love you
Your love is still my greatest strength, my light in the darkness that sometimes invades me
May your name never be forgotten, may your reign of goodness continue to make waves and make people better
Henri Ouellet
1917-1998

Unfathomably based way to use AI.
Edit: ok, Im new to this whole Tumblr thing (Reddit refugee), how do you cope with all the notifications and attention when your post blows up ? (Do you even use "edit:" here?)
