The World is an Unforgiving and Generous Place by Leshaun Miller I am strong and broken I wonder if I can spend one more day with my aunt before she passed away from covid I hear my grandfather talking right next to me trying to tell me something but I can’t hear him I wanted my aunt to be there for my football game but she didn’t come but I stood strong and played the game I want to see both of them alive again I am strong and broken
I pretend I’m okay but I’m not I feel my auntie hugging me I touch my brother’s face to tell him what happened and he started crying I worry a lot about my family if they get into a car accident I cried when my grandfather was in the hospital I am strong and broken
I say everything is great people come and go to my mom and my whole family I dream that my grandfather and aunt came back to life I try not to think about my grandfather's death and my aunt's death
