We will miss you, Grandma Ridpath

On Sunday, my Grandma Hilma Ridpath died at the age of 91. And, wow, do we miss her!!

Even though I'm sad, I'm also filled with a lot of contentment and joy for all the times that I had with her. About a week before we were planning to visit her, the A/C went out on our Subaru. I half-considered not making the whole journey to Nebraska (from West Virginia) and, instead, just stopping short in Iowa. "I'll just go visit her in September. She'll still be around then." But my wife wouldn't let me even consider it. "No way." Period. We had to go see Grandma Ridpath....and thank God for Holly talking me into it!!
