I miss you already.

My grandpa raised me and was very much like a father for me, so when he died it was rough, I was 16 at the time. He and my grandmother were married for 51 years, and she had never lived alone since she went straight from her parent's house to his house. (She was 15 or 16 when they married).

Anyway, she recovered very nicely, and is doing well over 10 years later. She's actually about to go on an Alaskan cruise, which is something else for a woman who hasn't left North Texas in a couple of decades! She hangs out with friends, does church and fire department events...and generally stays pretty busy.

Even old people can adapt pretty well!
