f is for fundador family haiku poem

he liked his brandy
hot liquid for cold, cold nights
what i remember

fundador brandy was one of the favorite drinks of my grandfather. unfortunately, he'd often end up with a terrible headache after. yet it was something he was not going to so easily give up. :)

he passed away 2 days ago.
