So much has happened in such a short time. I don't even know where to start. I guess I'll just do the current stuff. For one thing, my grandpa died. Its been about three weeks since. He had a long and somewhat difficult struggle with cancer and it eventually won. Of all the things to get to him it was cancer. The man survived a stroke and a heart attack. He was dead for 1minute before doctors brought him back. It really is true that disease always attacks what you hold dear. He had the biggest heart. He was never much of a talker,but when he did, his words were gold. In a way, his moving on was a perfect representation of the turning of the wheel. He died at the end of winter just after the first day of spring. The day I found out, I went over after work. I wrote a short poem in his honor. I ended up reading to my entire family at the funeral. Just thinking about it now kind of makes me sad, but I do accept that he has moved on and he will be reborn into the cycle of life.
In this hour, in this place, he is freed from time and space. One last breath, a final thought, all this now at a halt. The cauldron of the crone glows again tonight to accept another soul. Rest now for you shall return again. To wake and feel a sun filled days and moonlit nights.
Always in our hearts and memories,
Oganes Gengozian
