That is exactly how it is for me now, only it was in Ohio.
Heh, one of those O states. I think maybe it had something to do with grandparents and the era they came from. They seemed to be the glue that held everything together.
It's also kind of hard since 6 years ago on this weekend (to the date) we were burying my grandmother (7 months and 11 days after my grandfather died, she couldn't live without him)
We had family friends, Vern and Lucille. They were always around at Thanksgiving and Christmas and when I was a kid, I was crushed when I found out they weren't related. Vern passed away first and then a few months later, Lucille passed away. My grandmother said that after Vern died, Lucille lost her will to live. While very sad for us, it's so sweet that these people loved each other that much.
