When my grandfather died in 2016, I was in college. The poems I wrote in those early days of grief ended up becoming my thesis, but I still haven’t quite worked out my relationship with my grandfather. But reading this--and thinking of him as someone different to me at different stages in life--has helped. Thanks (as always) for sharing.
Thank YOU for sharing this! I think all of our relationships take time and evolve. Friends, parents, grandparents. Who we are and our roles in the relationships shift over time. I appreciate you, Isabelle!
