Dear Grandpa
We’re walking
Hand in hand
He is my grandpa
He is strong but also weak
Nothing will separate us
He is my leader
My inspiration
When I’m sad I can always go to him
But now this monster
It has taken away my inspiration
His name is Cancer
To be exact, Lung Cancer
It was caused by another monster
His name is Smoking
My grandpa could have saved himself
We all think its easy though
Quitting
If my grandpa quit, he might still be here to see me
Turn 14
Get a job
Start driving
Graduate
I was mad at myself
Why didn’t I convince him earlier?
Then I was mad at God
I thought you wanted us to be happy
Then I was mad at the sellers
Why did you have to sell my grandpa this awful product?
But then I thought
Why am I mad at them..?
They are just doing their job
And then I thought
I probably couldn’t have stopped him
Then I thought
This really isn’t Gods fault…
I will miss you grandpa
I may not see you physically anymore
But I have all the memories
I can mentally see you and hear you
RIP grandpa 12-23-13
I love you.
