Torben Visits Gramps

Today I wouldl like to tell you of a visit that brought me great joy. I was permitted a wonderful thing, onef which many people are not able to attain. I was able to see my great grandson, Torben-- a lovely husky bounding infsnt; and to watch him rolling around and laughing . Being able to hold him in my arms brought me great joy, of which I cannot imagine anything could equal.

I was compoletelly enthralled with what I saw, a great display of intelligence and awareness of his surroundings.

I am grateful that Maya and Jason brought him to the home. And I look forward to seeing Torben and his parents. again.

The Sphere In which I live

Here I am living in a new world with all my neighbors being the same advanced age I am and going over the many incidents that brought me here. However upon reflection my life is gong on in a different sphere. With different things taking up my life -- eating at a special time, going to bed at a special time,. Going along not knowing what the next day will bring.But more or less traveling along, handllng thngs as they come.

This I reflect to the eventual end from which there is no return and more or less hope that my life has been agood one Leaving behijnd me the memory of two wonderful women (my wives) and my children. now grown men in their own respective worlds, my grandchild and my great grandchild (Having a great grandchild gives me a feeling of august splendor unrivaled by any other feeling) and whose love I cherish and will forever close my book with whatever shall come.
