part 3. “He pulled out every kitten from that fire and went back in one last time.” Now I have only seen my grandfather brought to tears 3 times in my life to this point, when he lost his mother to time, when he lost his daughter to drugs, and when he lost his wife to cancer. Well I look up to see tears falling down his cheek and in that moment he paused for just enough time to capture the image of that night, “that dog came out one last time alone, burned in places and ashes clinging to him in patches, with no more kittens in tow and with a disappointed look. He saved the kittens and was unable to do so for the mother.” Gathering himself at this point he then delivered a perfect ending, “that dog came out of that burning barn and knew that he now inherited a responsibility for that litter. And as much as a parent can, he raised and nurtured them. Some strayed off to find new adventures, one was lost later to death, and one remained just to let that dog know that he was going to pay for saving her life that night.” He let out such a roar that I swear the music stopped playing and everyone in the room looked over. “Ohhhh! How they would go at it…” In life we all make decisions on how we will be with others and in turn those people determine what we are to them. Some actions are hard to curve and some circumstances are hard to remove yourself from, but in the end there are so many things that matter and we usually get caught up in what is not as important. Being who you are and staying true to that can be difficult, but sharing your true feelings can be even more difficult. There has never been a kinder man in my life than my grandfather when he looses himself along with everyone around him into one of his stories.
