Dear Phil,
The last time I saw you was at my graduation party, you decided to reach out and try to get to know your family. We let you into our home, treated you with the hospitality any guest deserves. I brought you pictures from my prom, I remember how you looked at them and cast them aside. I guess it was a fantasy I made up in my own mind, that my Grandfather would want to see what I looked like going off to the prom. You didn't have much to say, you weren't interested in talking to me your grandchild. You talked with my mother, my grandmother, my unlce, so I left went out back outside, a bit confused by this whole situatuion. But I suppose it makes sense why spend time getting to know somebody knew, when there were people you already knew and just needed to "catch up" with. I mean my mother told me stories of how she would send you our pictures in Christmas cards, perhaps I should have left it alone. You had plenty of oppertunity to know me if you wanted. I was sitting out back near the fire when you came out to say goodbye. You said goodbye to everyone around me gave them hugs and then walked away. I yelled after you, I yelled "Wait, What about me?" There was no answer, and then I did it I yelled after you "Grandpa". You didnt even turn around. That was the first time I called you my grandfather outloud to anyone. I regret it. Your the one who left my Grandmother, and her family, your the one who never got to know his own family. I have a great family, but your not apart of it.
You passed three days later, I didnt go to your wake, the only reason why I would have went is to get a good look at your face, to see what it looked like.
At the funeral I stood next to my Grandmother upset about you leaving her, cheating on her. Still to this day she will admit she loved you very much, but a person can only take so much abuse. I was upset about what happened, I felt rejected by you.
Dear Phil, I appologize for these feelings I have toward you, maybe one day I will come to accept everything, but it can't be today.

With All My Love,
Andie
