I was hit with this like a brick while my children and I danced polka with my 100 year old great uncle as I realized this is the closest thing to their great grandpa they could possibly know.

You were hot coffee and doughnuts
Hard work and early mornings
Late nights and ball games
Deep conversations and curiosity
A constant
Dependable
Force of nature
Until suddenly you weren't
First I grieved who you were
Now I just grieve you
How much life I have to live without you
The family that will never meet you
The absolute terror that slowly I'll forget
Your voice is gone already
