The passing of a great man...

Tonight I got a call that I have been expecting, and dreading. During my second marriage I was blessed with some really cool grandparents. We played Euchre and Spades every weekend, and I had a knack for ticking Grandpa off... I either trumped his trick, or lead trump... or something equally maddening.

Easter Sunday about 15 years ago, Grandma left us after working all night to cook dinner. It was a really hard day. Tonight, they are together again. Grandpa went to join his wife of 50 years, 3 months, and 3 days after a relatively brief separation.

Rest well, Nelson Wogoman. Till we meet again.

Thank you, Bill. While I will miss him, I know he and Grandma are together and that gives me joy.

Blessings.
