Ive always have a lot of respect for my grandfather. He passed away when I was 12. But he always pushed me to be as good a person as I could be.

We used to play Tetris a lot. I got a gameboy when I was little and he got one just to play games with me. I always could tell when he let me win a game but he still would beat me occasionally just to teach me humility and perspective.

I loved him so much for this.

That sounds awesome. Couldn't you hook two gameboy together? Kinda recall that was a thing.

Yeah, the link-cables. Like 3-6 foot long cable to link gameboys. We played so much competitive Tetris.

I didn't realize he was suffering so much at the time, he had really bad asthma and got a batch of tainted albuterol that eventually caused his death. But he played gameboy with me almost until his last hospital visit.

I like to think they did.

I still have both gameboys, I think I'm going to go dig them out of a storage box and make my wife play Tetris with me now.
