Even
   though it has been almost four years since we last shared  memories,
the
   hardest part to accept is that you’re in a better place now. you were too
strong
   for too long. I wanted you to see me graduate high school, college,
fall
in love, but you left us. You had no choice. you had been 
down
   here suffering for too long. I feel like you visit me
sometimes
   when I need it most.


The author's comments:

I wrote this piece in rememberance of my grandfather's passing, as the anniversary of his passing is approaching within the next few months. I think about him every day.

Although this poem isn't about hockey, which I love dearly, it was something we shared and loved to watch together and that is why I chose the inage of a hockey fight because he would always yell at the TV for the players to keep fighting and not give up.
