Poems for a Funeral

[Gemini Cricket]

Jack was her estranged father that was absent for most of her life. He resurfaced in her life about 5 years ago. They mended their relationship and things between them ended on a good note. He came out late in life, divorced his wife when he realized that he was gay. He lived with his partner for about 25 years after the divorce. He liked to drink and smoke. All in all, he was a lackluster father but he redeemed himself in my friend's eyes by opening up to her. He had a pretty good sense of humor.
