The Nun and the Witches Last Walk

Even though It was so long ago It still holds the place in my heart The one I reserved for special moments with him The times before his health got the best of our relationship Back when my grandpa was able to be my grandpa It was my first parade and one of his last The Halloween of 2006. There was tigers and lions and bear oh my. but there was also the usual witches, and monsters but most importantly there was my grandpa. He volunteered to help with the small monsters of classroom 301 that year which would also be his last so he was able to walk with his even if he kept stopping to pick up candy along the way. walking with him along the crowded streets past the sirens of the firetrucks and over the steep hills will forever beat any memory of trick or treating passing out candy or the endless Halloween parties for that was just a moment to enjoy now that his old age has hit him hard there's no more walking no more dressing up for Halloween just to see a smile on the face of his grandchildren his little monsters That moment will forever hold my heart ten years ago was the last time this witch had her nun of a grandfather walk beside her
