first of all i would like to say that.. i hope all goes well with your grandfathers surgury.. to show that you care instead of going on the computer like you usually do i would go in the room and start talking when a commercial or something comes on and go out of your way to show him you care.. maybe by complimenting him.. like nice shirt or good pasta.. or do something together like.. going out to dinner or a movie that you both enjoy.. if you have something in common.. like.. you both like to read? go to your local library together. just show him that you care. do anything!! hope that helps! if you need any other advise you can just comment on my profile..

Being close to your grandfather’s age I would think I could tell you what he probably feels. I believe he already knows how appreciative you are for everything he has done for you and your brother just by how well you and your brother have grown in to adolescence. The fact that you visit every weekend means a lot to him. Your presence in his home is comfort in itself and the fact that you don’t nag him to watch something he does not enjoy shows your respect and admiration for him and everything he has done for you.
Now that he is going into the hospital you can be of great comfort to him by being there with him as he enters the hospital to prepare for the surgery. Tell him you will be waiting for him when the operation is over and greet him with a big smile and a hug, if the doctors allow a hug, when he is brought back to his room.
Most of all just tell your grandfather how much you love him. I know that is all I would want. I do not need material things from my grandchildren to show their love. I would much prefer something they made with their own two hands; a card, cookies or a cake. Something that shows love that is what would do it for me and I am pretty sure your grandfather would appreciate the same things.
I hope my answer helps and I hope all goes well with your grandfathers’ surgery.
