The death of an old man is not a tragedy
~ Robert Altman

That may be true,
but to believe that is true
does little to console the grieving.

For Doris and her Grandfather...

I can't even begin to describe how much I miss my grandfather... I wish that this culture prepared us a bit more for death...

Both my grandfathers were gone by the time I was one year old.

I once found a WW1 journal of my father's father, describing, in the most elegant handwriting, details and specs of his rifle.
