Grandpa, may you rest now

I cant explain how my tears can dry up in pain
Nor how I can smile through all of this
I’m trying….I’m trying.. grandpa!

I am not afraid and I will not bury you inside my heart
I will bring you to life through words… through spirit!
I have so many unanswered questions! Why?

Why were you so strong,
And how did you raise such a great man like my father
I want to learn…

I have so many heart beats left,
G-d, Why couldn’t I have just given him some of them?

May my prayers come from the air of my grandfathers last breath
And may g-d’s ears open to hear these words…
“I want him back, Please!”

Please… please .. ..
take whatever you want!
Just bring him back to us!
I love you дедушка Миша!

May you live through us,
Every step of the way

And may you be as proud of us
As we are proud of you.

Thank you.
