My granddad is fearless

I'm not joking, he is 86 and he is fearless. Since I've been back in hk. He had needed to stay in a hospital for various illnesses and each time he would say no more smoking and no more gambling (it's his gambling buddies that always offer him cigarettes) he actually stopped smoking for over a year and we were so proud of him. Then he start again because of his gambling buddies. Surprise surprise a few weeks later we had to take him to a&e because of breathing problems. He couldn't eat solid food for 2 weeks and were constantly hungry. Still he was stubborn as ever, refusing to eat his meals and listing to the doc. After he finally came home once again he started off being good. Staying at home and eating healthy, a few weeks have now past and his back to his usual self... going of gambling wiu his so call buddies. Whenever we tell him he shouldn't do something he would argue back saying a littl can't hurt! We tried to get him to take medicine for his cough and all he would do is get in the mood with us and say no bloody way it's too damn bitter. His alot like a child sometime but I am much happier seeing him like this than looking so frail on that hospital bed. Let's hope he actually win some money back once in a while
