Mr. Roach
For the few years that I knew you, I can't recall ever having that grandfather-granddaughter love connection. In fact, I was terrified of you. It seemed like you went out of your way to make sure that we never felt welcome in your presence.
However, since you are/were my grandfather, it would be nice to give you a second chance. I was so young...I didn't have the desire to step outside of myself and take the initiative to get to know you. Now that you're gone, it's a bit late for that...but you're the only person I could think of.
What would I do differently, at this point in my life, if you were still alive? That's a good question. When I lacked the desire/ability to get to know you, you refused to put aside your pride and disappointment to get to know me. That sucks. So I guess I'd have to figure out a way to get you to like me...so that you'd grow to love me. It'd be like we were dating...but you'd have no choice but to accept me and love me because I am a part of you....your blood runs through my veins...I am your granddaughter. And as unfortunate as that may seem to you, I'm really not a bad person. *shrug*..I think you'd be pretty proud of me.
But if you still couldn't love/like/respect me for the fact that I'm related to you, maybe you could do it because of Daddy....
So...Truce?
