Heartwarming story

My Hero, My Ding is a beautifully written, heartwarming story of a special bond between a girl and her grandfather.

I caught myself smiling so many times while reading this wonderful book. Some of it reminded me of the silly things my grandfather and I used to do.

The author did a great job describing all the nice places she and her family had visited. I felt as if she were sitting right next to me, with a cup of tea or coffee in her hand, smiling while reminiscing about all the silly things her grandfather used to do. My favorite one was the icy window scene, ha-ha! Or, the golf ball / microwave incident.

Although, they did all kinds of silly, childish things, there were lessons to be learned in everything they did. This family spent a lot of time together, enjoying each other's company with good food and jokes.

All the lessons Lisa's grandfather taught her, were filled with fun and love and zero criticism or sarcasm. This is exactly how a grandfather or even a father should be.

The whole book was full of fun and packed with love and care.

I would definitely recommend My Hero, My Ding to everyone. Also, I want to thank the author for sharing such a delightful story.
