<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MEC2, post: 2680618, member: 38692&quot;]Reminds me of a funny story about my Grandpa... I get a call from my brother, he is at my grandparents, apparently my Grandmother has had a stroke and is not responsive. I fly out that night, and she does not recover, next day she passes.</p><p><br /></p><p>She&#039;s the first relative close to me in my life I can recall losing, and our family is very small, so this is a pretty big deal for everyone. As we are there dealing with the emotional trauma and aftermath of things, we need to look in my Grandmother&#039;s purse for something, and so my Grandpa reaches in and pulls out 5 or 6 old red seal $2 bills. He turns to us and deadpans...</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The old lady&#039;s been holding out on me...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh Lord did we laugh about that for hours... that was my Grandpa. Just lost his wife of 50 some years, and uncorks that one. We each got a $2, carry it with me to this day. Sigh... bittersweet times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
