I Remember When...A Story by Theo RatcliffeThis was a little story I wrote before my Grandfather passed away I never really wanted to talk about it but I think its time.
I remember when I was young.
The days his warm hand held mine. The days I would sit on his lap, listening to his endless stories. People might have said he was crazy, but I knew the truth. His stories were a fairy tale, and I couldn't wait to be a part of them. But years have passed since I remember when I was young. I'm sitting in a chair beside his bed now, holding his pale, cold hand in mine. As he slowly fades away. John R 1928-2010 © 2016 Theo RatcliffeAuthor's Note
