Made easier to bear because everything felt like it belonged

Normal nuisances and unfulfilled to do's

Even grief felt far away

Writing poetry about grandparents has been a way to understand my generational history and in turn better understand myself and my ministry. I love you, too, is a poem about my paternal grandfather.
