the scents and thoughts that remind me of my grandfather
Red Man chewin' tobaccy
Lipton instant tea
strong black coffee
a shelf full of mugs shaped like boobs
Ely shirts - with snaps not buttons
scratchy whiskers to tickle our little necks
a ready smile and quick humor
like a child trapped in an old man's body
an honest man unto the end
who never stopped focusing on the positive
my role model, my hero, my Grandad.
