Reuben Cobb (My Grandfather)

Daughter disconnected from her father.
It took years for you two to reconnect.
I had only one chance to talk to you.
The cancer took you, before we could meet.

I wish you could have met him before he died, Dakarai. Surely you'll have another chance in eternal life. Very moving poem. Love, Carolyn

How sad, yet you heard his voice which I am sure was a blessing. Thank you for your comment on my Etheree. Aloha, Connie
