Grandpa, that year in which I was alone without my husband, I felt your presence every day in the passenger seat of my car. When G came only for two weeks, we went to Ogunquit, Maine. One night, we ordered take out food from a seafood restaurant, ( Billy's Chowder House, Wells, Maine) I went to get the food and left the kids with G.Upon arrival at the counter, an unknown waitress immediately said, "Bart...." (my last name) She had my food ready and the other unknown waitress looked at her in astonishment and said, "How did you know?" The first one replied, "I do not know."
Back in my car I turned on the ignition and heard Billy Joel, "Part of me will always be part of you as lullabies go on and on. They never die."
