Hi Hazel,
What a lovely photo of you, John and your granddaughter. She looks, as you say 'bright as a button'.
My niece, and hence my dad's granddaughter, is 18 this year and visits my dad on a regular basis. She is a breath of fresh air and my dad often responds to her in a way that us old fogeys can't hope to match. When he doesn't respond however, she is mature enough not to get upset.
I hope your granddaughter has had a similar effect on John, and that in some way it will show her that life is for living.
