I was born with a cut on my kidney

Which developped into serious sepsis,

So for the first few years of my life, I

Was treated with loads of medications,

In and out of the hospital to mend this.

While all of this was going on, my

Grand-father was pressuring my parents

To get me baptized in case I died from

My condition because he was afraid I

Would be left in limbo out of Heaven.

The man was actually serious about this.

It was such a source of contention that

My parents relented in the end, and when

I was well enough, they had me baptized

Just to bring back some peace in the family.

My grand-father was a monster who 

Brutalized his wife and his children,

But he was a God-fearing man somehow.

There's no figuring out how that works,

'Cause it simply makes no sense at all.

Did he think he'd be going to Heaven

After all of the terrible things he's done,

But his unbaptized infant grand-daughter

Would be left in eternal limbo if she died?

By all accounts, it's what he truly believed.

Just incredible.
