Remember Family
Don't forget to pay attention to your
family.
My wife's grandfather died a few days ago at 98
years of age. Or, years of youth. We were going to drive out to see him next
week and show him his latest great-granddaughter (I think he now has something
like 8 great-grandkids) and we're sad that he won't get to meet
her.
He was awesome at pool. When we
lived in Ohio we would drive up a few times a year to see him and my wife's
uncle. We would play pool and he would usually beat us. I know geometry but I
can't play pool. This guy was in his late 80's/early 90's and he was kickin' our
butts at pool. We would win but I think he did that on purpose just to keep us
playing. Like that would have stopped
us.
This will be a busy week since we
are also going to scatter my mom's ashes this weekend. We were going to do this
first (it's also a family reunion for my side of the family) and then drive to
Ohio but now we have to switch things. Which means a 12 hour drive to Ohio to
get there on Thursday (the service is on Friday) followed by a 9 hour drive to
Iowa that Friday (my mom's service is on
Saturday).
*whew*
Again,
don't forget your family. Make up if you're fighting. They won't be around
forever and you just might miss them.
