Rant #16774

I don't know why I'm suddenly remembering all these memories that I wish would stay forgotten. Even with the dementia, he sometimes could recognize who I was. Sometimes I'd hold on to his hand right before I left, and he'd grip back like he didn't want me to leave. That day, they forced me to grab his cold hand as we wept, as if "wake up, your grandchild is here" would bring him back. He had been long gone. The dementia took him first, and then death itself i miss him
