Acrostic Poem from Libby Kirsch

Grandpa, I know I always had a special place in your heart, but I think that was because you had such a special place in mine to start.

Rarely a week went by that I missed talking to you, because it only meant more to me to keep connected as I grew.

And I will never forget how you seemed so interested in my life, asking how I am managing in the heat or just being a good wife.

Now I will miss those special phone calls and chats, but I thought I could add something to my Fridays in memory of that.

Don't we all know that Fridays can be a bit of stress, in such a situation could lead to getting uptight, angry... Making life a bit of a mess

Picture your calm, cool and collected face in my mind is what I will do, and try to emulate your outstanding qualities, of which those were just a few.

As the Ramban writes, keeping calm brings humility, that's the life of a jew, i hope to follow in these ways seen so clearly by you.
