It has been about five years since I have seen or heard from you. You were never really a nice grandfather. People wouldn’t even hang out with you if they were paid to do so. You hated everyone and everything. I don’t remember a time when you weren’t angry and yelling. You made Scrooge from A Christmas Carol look like a saint. It was probably your anger and hatred that caused you to stay away from your family. You did a good job staying out of contact; quitting your job, changing your number, and moving. Your family tried so hard to stay in contact with you but we eventually gave up knowing it was a lost cause. You could be dead for all we know; yet as your family we have reached the conclusion that we wouldn’t even care if you were.

ReplyDeleteThat's a very strong close to a very dark piece, an interesting portrait.
