Years passed. I got married young, divorced even younger, and moved back in with Grandpa, with my three kids in tow.
I took them with me when my ex decided responsibility wasn’t for her.
Grandpa never once complained. He just nodded and said, “More boots by the door means more life in the house.”

He’d forget where he put his hat, then forget whether he had fed the horses.
Grandpa never once complained.
