11. I think your Grandfather will be your Grandmother's Christmas Present.
Your post made me misty... my Grandmother outlived my Grandfather by almost as long, but died of Alzheimer's. She forgot who he was a decade before she passed. Both were HUGE parts of my life. My Grandfather was, and still is, my Hero.

She's been waiting for him for a very long time. Tomorrow they will have Christmas Dinner together for the first time in quite a while and share stories about what the last 17 years has held. Someday you'll join them at that table, I'm sure. My wish is that you keep them waiting as long as possible so as to make the reunion that much more enjoyable.

Be strong.
