I decided today that I'm going to include a powerpoint slide show that I made for my Grandpa's funeral in my literacy narrative a long with a short (or long) synopsis of his life. This will make my literacy narrative even later than it already is, but once I thought of it I couldn't not do it. It make me sad to that I have to think about how I wish I knew more details of my Grandpa's life. He was really cool and I know he did a lot of things but most of what I know is second hand. I should have spent more time asking him questions. We were really close when I was younger and in later years I haven't spent as much time with him as I should have and as I would have liked to..
I keep thinking about Lex's comparison to writing as an exorcism. I feel as though including the powerpoint and stories of my Grandpa I will be immersed in his memory and let go of this sense of guilt I carry. I will miss him.
