Dear Grandpa,

You're the last good guy in my life.
Please don't die,
I know it must hurt; it must be hard to regain your strength.
But after my dad,
His dad, and all my ex-lovers,
Please, you're the last real man I have!
You've never given up on me.
You never beat me,
You never disowned me,
You never broke my heart.
And I know that while I sit here,
While I write my heart out,
That you are dying…
Slowly getting weaker, feeling the pain enter your blood.
But I beg of you, fight the cancer, and fight the pain.
I need you.
All the men in my life have disappeared.
Please don't be the last.
I selfishly want you,
Want to say that I do have a man in my world.
And I selfishly say to your heart from mine,
I need you in my life.
I need you to be the good man,
The good man that stays.
To my grandpa, who is dying right now...

Grandpa I love you.
