Wow, Jesse - what an amazing true story. We'd love to hear more... perhaps a longer poem in the future... Line xx

Unfortunately, that note is the full extent of what I know about it, and sadly my grandfather is no longer alive to recount the tale.

Guardian angels come in all shapes and sizes.. truly amazing, Jesse. It’s so lovely for you to sing his praises. A beautifully poignant senryu and I relished your backstory in your poet’s note as well.. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
