The Memento

I spent most of my life watching the sunrise and becoming accustomed to serene mornings by the lake near my house. Most days there was sunlight and this happy feeling when stepping under it but the past week we had rain, just constant rain. It was during this ugly week that I got a telephone call from my estranged mother telling me that her father died and that I had to come home. Grandpa Jake dead, wow… Jake was a strong man it was weird to think he was gone from this world but I suppose he was 97 so he had lived a full and long life.
