This is beautiful - and I love the quoted poem. Thanks for sharing.

And I have to say that my favorite line was "Back then, you just had a baby."

That poem is one I go back to often.

And regarding that line, it carries so much meaning between now and then. Glad you liked it.

Wow, Jeremy, normally you bring a wry smile to my face, or, better, make me laugh. This post made me well-up at my own teenage intolerance of my grandparents. Thank you for reminding me to be better with my family.
