Dear Grandchildren:
There is irony in that the
last thing you will ever forget
will be one of your firsts
crush
love
kiss
sex
broken heart
first to never be forgotten
first to stick with you
first to make you feel like that
first to make you hurt
first to make you feel alive
There is less irony, more fact
knowing that the firsts will
teach you the most
honor you the least
cause discomfort
provide perspective
be impossible to explain to others
yet explain everything there is to know
These things I tell you
because they are true
because I know
Love,
Grandpa
P.S.
Don’t tell your parents
you learned any of
this from me

I really really really loved this so much. The ‘twist’ at the end is amazing and heartwarming … made me long for something I never had xxx Well written, well expressed and lesson well taught!
