I spent a bit of tonight reminiscing about my grandparents. It's a good day for that, I guess.
(Yesterday was the 21st anniversary of my grandmother's death. Family myth is that she died on the 13th so as not to spoil Valentine's Day for us. And today would have been my great-grandmother's 110th birthday, more or less.)
I'm glad you have those vivid memories. They do sometimes help keep people alive in a way, and not, you know, a creepy zombie way.
