        Wait, what’s wrong with Grandpa Joe? He was a man sick with the humiliation and hopelessness handed down to him by society. Only the joy of seeing his grandson get a chance to be somebody was enough to cure him.

          IIRC it’s the fact that he was all sickly and bedridden until Charlie finds the golden ticket and he pops out of bed like nothing is wrong.
