I was 17.

I already had a grandfather,

He passed.

I don’t have hate

But I don’t know how to

Feel.

My grandma deserved better,

So did my

Father.

I want to try,

But I cannot allow myself to let you

Replace him. 

He was my grandfather,

You are too

But strangely enough it feels different.

My grandma forgives you,

My dad may as well,

So I will try.

Life is strange,

Twists and turns, 

But everything happens for a reason.

You are my dad’s dad

You are my grandfather**, 

That is the truth.
