I knew the backstory but didn’t know your beloved Grandfather died so young from a bicycle accident. But those summers in Vegas shaped you as a person & another reason I hold you in such high regard. You are not impressed with wealth & station in life but the essence of a person.

To have loved, and been loved as you have with your grandfather is perhaps the greatest gift a person can receive in this life. How fortunate you have been!

I absolutely love your writing but this story is just incredible and I feel like I was there with you as you lived it. You’ve got the “gift” of writing. Use it!
