Yesterday,  I had a sense he was leaving, that it was time, and that the business of life meant he had to go … however hard his leaving might be for those not ready to follow. 

We had a brief conversation last night.   I told him I loved him.  He said nighty-night – the same way he has said goodnight to me for as long as I can remember.

I am left with a vision of a twinkly smile and a feeling of being loved.  It is enough. 

To honour my Grandfather, the life he lived, and the love he gave me, I am posting a link  to a blog I wrote four years ago:  http://curlygirlcapers.typepad.com/blog/2011/05/west-point-reunion.html

I hope you enjoy it.
