I think it's A.

I know you don't capitalized grandpa when it's like that, but they might possibly be doing that in this sentence.

Answer 7

Let me do a little research

Answer 8

Oh yes, you were right. it's grandpa

Answer 9

I was thinking it wrong. When used like this, it's OK.

But like if it is saying 'I wish MY GRANDPA blah blah blah'

Answer 10

Then that isn't OK

Answer 11

In this sentence, the word "grandpa" is being used in place of a name, therefore it should be capitalized.
