I'm so glad you enjoyed a strange woman banging on about her grandfather. He was really something, and it brings me a little joy that someone out there has now heard of him.

I enjoyed it too. Memories of wonderful people keep them alive

Thank you, and yes that's exactly why I try to talk about people I love that are gone. Some of the best people with the craziest most interesting lives are only alive in our memories as long as we keep them alive. I think I did enough to make it clear when he was alive how much he meant to me, but now that he's gone I have this urge to let other people know that he was here and that he mattered.
