The emotions of hate, anger and bitterness flow so freely in this nonfiction piece that I felt those emotions for the author’s grandfather, Jack. I love stories that make you reflect on your own life and this one really made me think about people I may have misjudged.

Sometimes it takes a drastic event, like death, for someone to realize the other side of an issue. It takes a very strong person to fight their past and hope for something better. However, it takes an ever stronger person to put it all behind you and move on. I applaud your change of heart and hope that I can show the same courage to look from a different point of view.
