karen’s dad. and to think all i knew of him was that he was a dentist. you have filled in the blanks and painted a beautiful picture of a man who loved and was loved back by generations. thanks, jordan.
This touching memoir of your grandfather is really moving. Such a beautiful heart beating in these words. Thank you for sharing these lovely memories here.
You know I’m a huge fan of your writing, but man. This one punched me right in the gut. Through tears, I remembered my own grandfather as he would sit in his leather easy-chair and pretend to be asleep, reaching out with his giant arms as I tried to pass by without waking him, pulling me into his lap for a big hug. I miss my Papa Art. And I grieve with you as you miss your Grandpa and his loving hands. Hugs to you, friend.
What a beautiful tribute to your grandpa, Jordan. May God be ever near as you journey with this new layer of grief.
