My dad defied the doctors & stuck around long enough to meet & get to know his granddaughter which I am so grateful for.

They became great pals & had many lovely times together.

This poem, which means a lot to me, was published in the recent issue of Flare.

Thanks for reading.

Trying to set this one up for the website with tears dropping onto the keyboard. @trent_lewin is incredibly gifted.

[Is Fred Nolan stalling? @The_Fredwords]

Please read this short story by @trent_lewin. I can't imagine anyone else pulling off a gut punch like this without Trent's optimistic worldview and deep caring for the reader.

But make no mistake, this one is gonna *hurt.*
