For My Grandfather

February 12, 2021February 12, 2021 jamieahughesLeave a comment

We lost my grandfather to Alzheimer’s Disease five years ago. Today is his birthday.

Honestly, I’m still processing his loss and how his leaving changed my family forever (not necessarily for the better). This poem is far from my best work, but it’s honest. It’s what I have right now.
