22 Days is a Lifetime
My Dad always said when you die "to die as his father had wouldn't be a bad way to go." Although my father's time was little different; it was very quick from his living life as he had been for years to surprising everyone in Smithshire by being gone.

Grandpa and Grandma Davis didn't work as names in our family.
I got to know both my maternal and paternal grandparents very well growing up. Allowing children to learn from the perspectives, love, and encouragement of grandparents is essential to a great child. Although my grandfather Glen died in 1968 when I was 16. My grandmother Helen died in 1970. They were semi-retired and had more time to spend with my brother and I as we were growing up. I was very close to them. I remember my Dad coming home to meet us after school one day; he hugged me crying as he told me Glen had died. I had never seen my father cry before. Men of the WWII and Korea generations were stoics; it was like he had lost his own father. I will never forget that moment.
