E.Daniel - I periodically drive past the cememtary where my grandparents are buried. I always say a silent "hello" to them. But I'm also cognizant of the fact that my niece and nephew, who are now in their 30's, will be the last generation to probably remember them.
Also, don't remember who said it but they realized their own mortality when they recognized that when they were 20, they had a fairly good shot at seeing 40. When they were 40, they had a probable chance to see 80. But now at 50, the odds are they wouldn't see 100 and they realized that they were truly into the second half of their life.
Now can we talk about baseball again, please.
