Grandpa

I looked at this obit for the grandfather the other day. It’s a ritual that I have before I throw out the documents. All of these documents that I’ve had my whole life have started to weigh a ton, unconsciously taking up space in my brain as well as my soul.

It had gotten so bad that I think I became unable to function, and I’m pretty sure I fell ill as well, and it was a burden that I had to carry for many, many years, since childhood, because I believe that was how I was conditioned.
