Appuppan


The glue that held our family together,

With him by our side, any storm we could weather,


My days were incomplete,

If one crazy fight was not complete,


Involving glasses of liquor being thrown,

Or food not being left alone,


More a friend, than a grandfather,

Appuppan was unlike most grandfathers,


He taught us swear words in Malayalam,

And introduced us to food that would have easily made its way to Instagram,


He was crazy and unique and fun,

He filled our lives with warmth, similar to the rays of the sun,


Twenty years since he's been gone,

Life has undergone,


Drastic changes,

But I'll always be appuppan's Gayu through the ages.
