The lock down has been hard on a lot of people, especially for those living alone. My Grandpa has been living in an assisted living home for a few years now since his memory has gotten pretty bad and his hands are filled with arthritis, leaving them nearly useless.
The home is fine, the nurses are always nice and before COVID we would visit him every other weekend or so, but since COVID, we have only got to see him when restrictions were lowered.
Learning that our government was going to instill tighter restrictions to fight off the second wave, including no access to retirement or nursing homes, my wife and I decided it would be best to bring him home to live with us. We had the space and although my wife was still working, I was working from home and could definitely look after him.
The first couple of days were nice, just letting Grandpa get settled in and familiar where to find things around the house. We ate all our meals together and at night watched some TV together.
By the third day, as Grandpa and I were sitting on the couch, it became apparent that Grandpa had not washed himself since he had come home and he was pretty ripe. I didn't want to embarrass him, so I simply asked "Hey, did I forget to leave you clean towels in your washroom?".
"No, there are some there" He said.
"Oh. Well Grandpa, it's been a few days and I don't think you have showered yet" I try to softly state.
Grandpa takes his eyes off the TV, looking at his hands seemingly trying to figure out how to respond.
He begins to reply without looking at me, "You're right son. I'm sorry to say, but that is one of those chores the nurses told you about that I can't do myself. My hands can't wrap around the soap or even hold on to a sponge". He finally turns his head to look at me, probably to gauge my reaction and says "I'm sorry, but I need someone to help me with bathing".
I felt like such a jerk. Here I was thinking Grandpa was being to lazy to have a shower, only to learn he needed my help.
"Of course Grandpa. I told you we would bring you home and take care of you and obviously that is part of taking care of you. I'll go start the bath, let's go get you cleaned up".
I go to the washroom and start to run the warm water, collect a wash cloth and get a towel ready when Grandpa walks in. We look at each other a little awkwardly, neither of us completely sure what to do next.
"Do you need help getting undressed?" I ask stupidly considering he had been there for three days and changed himself each day.
"No, no, I got it" He answers as he starts to unbutton his top.
"Want me to step out?" I follow-up with yet another dumb thought.
"Not sure that matters much son" He says with a chuckle as he begins to pull down his grey sweatpants.
Now Grandpa is obviously an older man, he is 85 years old, not fat, but not too skinny either, I guess I would describe him as having a Grandpa type of body, a little belly, a good amount of sagging and a lot of wrinkles to go with his white hair and chest hair.
As he pulled down his underwear, I saw my Grandpa in all his glory for the first time and couldn't help but notice the ample sized penis he was packing, surrounded by a bush of white hair.
I give Grandpa my arm to help brace himself as he steps into the top and slowly sits down.
I begin to wash him from his head, working my way down his shoulders, arms, chest, belly, back and then I skip down to his feet, working my way up his leg to his thigh, before switching legs. Neither of us spoke and I hesitated as I tried to figure out what to do next. I placed the washcloth in the palm of my hand and gently cupped his cock and balls; slowly washing his balls before bringing the cloth up, gently rubbing the length of his shaft from underneath to the head and then back down the top of the shaft. I slid my clothed hand back over his balls and reached underneath to clean his ass, stopping to pay some extra attention around his asshole to ensure it gets clean after three days.
In the moment, this was not a sexual event. It was more awkward, but out of love and kindness, but I will say, I am pretty sure I saw Grandpa's dick twitch as my cloth cleaned his asshole.
"All set" I said, rinsing out the cloth and offering my arm again to help him back up.
