I understand that everyone dies,
I just wish it wouldn't hurt so much.
So now I say goodbye,
Goodbye to a grandfather I barely knew,
But still loved all the same.
Goodbye to that cheerful man,
The man I knew before the disease
Claimed your mind.

I don't know if you're in heaven,
Or just dead here on this earth,
But whatever the case may be,
After many long years,
And many struggles,
You are truly at peace.

We will always love you,
We will always miss you,
We will always remember you.

Isn't it funny how these things happen?
Seven years ago today,
I lost a grandpa,
And now today I lose another.

Today, my friend, would be a prime example
As to why I should never get my hopes up.
I was supposed to see you today,
For the first time in a year,
And something in the universe decided
It hated me.
Hip hip hurray for hoping.

"Divorce isn't hereditary."*
It's quite funny, you say that, actually,
Seeing as it seems to be in my family.
For a matter of fact,
It seems to be in many families.
Yes, technically speaking,
Divorce is not a hereditary disease,
But for all intents and purposes,
It can be hereditary.
Not because it's something you can catch,
But because the children grow up
And they think this is the way love is.
And they look around them,
Their friends all have divorced parents too,
So their thoughts are enforced.
It's a little funny,
Everyone is so obsessed with true love,
When it doesn't seem to really exist anymore.
At least not here.

You ruined Easter for me,
So thank you very much.
You ruined April 8th for me,
So thank you again for that.
You ruined romantic kisses in the rain for me,
So once again, thank you.
Let's just save some time and say
You've ruined a lot for me, nearly everything,
So a million times thank you
For experiences I will never get back
And for things I will never stop hating.
