He passed away in 2019, two weeks before another grandfather—my father’s father—passed away from cancer.

I wrote a poem about their passings. It’s one of my favorites I’ve ever written. It still hasn’t found its home, but I hope it does someday.

I figured out his routine eventually, but then he was scary in a different way because I never knew how to one-up his shtik.

Willard was one of my grandfathers. He was my mom’s step-father. When I was little, I saw him as stoic and stern and scary. Little did I know, he was the biggest jokester alive. He leaned into me thinking he was scary—he’d prank me every time I said good-bye by barking like a dog every time.

I have the time to post here, so today’s fun fact about me is I am currently being roasted this holiday season for not being a big fan of pie.
