Grandpa.

You used to let me roll in the front with you.

With the windows down low.

Music and our favorite shades on.

You would ask me all these questions and id be so annoyed to answer them.

I would help you plant flowers in the backyard and I used to hate it.

There were way too many bugs in the dirt anyways.

We would go and play the lottery together and I remember I won a couple of bucks.

You asked me if I wanted to go collect the money.

I said no because if im going to win, im going to win big.

I got my poetry published and you bought the books.

You made me sign the book and I felt so famous.

You used to sit me on your lap and you used to play this game on my back.

It was relaxing and soothing.

We would cook together and I would bake you sweets.

You used to drive me to my orthodontist appointments and you were so amazed of my braces.

One night I got called in and mommy told me you had cancer.

She held me in my arms and we cried together.

We took a long nap and I felt like **** after.

I tried to see you as much as I could but every time I saw you I would step out and cry in my moms arms.

Then they announced your death.

I swear I died too.
