Al Hagopian. - Building a Trellis
Al Hagopian

A name from my childhood,
let me tell you about him.

He was my Dad’s best friend,
Armenian by birth and passion,
glistening dark eyes, bear hugs,
open laughter and big family gatherings,
platters of strange yummy food.
I thought of him today while watching
a movie,”Promise”, about Armenian genocide by the Turks.
Now I wonder, did his family immigrate here fleeing the horror?
