Last time you watched me eat ramen alone at eleven while Grandpa slept. Tonight he's at the table, and I have a bad day to report: rain, no umbrella, one small mistake at work.<br>He asked three questions, decided it wasn't worth worrying about, and went back to his fried oysters. Then the camera quit halfway through dinner — so the second half stays between him and me.<br>If someone in your family is the one who tells you "that's nothing," I'd love to hear about them. Grandpa likes knowing he's not the only one.

Mistakes happen, we are human. We can learn from them and move forward. Give yourself some grace, you deserve it. Grandpa is feeling good in a clean house and the help you hired worked out well. Night ending well.

I think this is the most Genuine video I have seen in a long time.... Taking care of your grandfather, this is a great responsibility but, must bring you two closer together and you can confide in each other. I can only hope I can do as good as you do for him when my mum starts needing more help💖💖

Hi Masaki! Don’t be too hard on yourself. Nobody’s perfect, we all make mistakes. Move on because tomorrow is another day and you can’t undo mistakes that already happened. Dorayaki is my son’s favorite. I brought him a lot of Dorayakis during my travel to Japan. I think your grandpa is enjoying the meals that you cook for him. You’re such a very good grandson. Stay well always.

You’re a very good grandson. I see you love your grandpa very much and grandpa loves you too. <br>Bring tears to my eyes when I saw your channel.<br>Cooking for grandpa. Need to be carful with salt and fried food. It’s dangerous for older people. And more soft food, easy for grandpa to chew and easy to digest.

Mistakes happen at work, in fact making mistakes is important for learning and developing skills and self awareness. So long as the mistake is not repeated and you've learned from it, make as many as possible so you can grow. With love from Sydney, Australia

Every time I see you made dinner for your grandpa it made me sad because my grandpa used to cook for me when I was a youngster!!!! i missed him so much since he passed long time ago:( That was so sweet to cook every day after work for him!!!! Continue to take care of him for God will bless you with goodness!!!
