We had returned after laying Grandpa to rest among the bush and the earth he so loved to commune with, and Grandma was reminiscing about their five decades worth of journey with moist eyes.
We got a glimpse into the man; the husband, the father, the soldier, and friend. A life lived with gusto, and zero regrets.
“So what now, Grandma?” someone asked.
She replied like a catapult snap:
“I am getting a bloody electric blanket first! He never let me buy one.”
