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.
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.* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
