I really like how you transition from the beginning about your grandfather's smoking and drinking to your father quitting smoking and ending with the positive memory of you and your father sitting on the couch, teaching him to crochet. It's amazing how something so ugly, like the ashtray of cigarettes, can trigger something so beautiful.Laura M. Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118305776404765529noreply@blogger.com
