BOB THURBER: Grandpa’s Parable

0


There are three kinds of old men: the grumpy, the gloomy, and the grievers. Despite their inconsolable anguish, grievers are the cheerier bunch, understanding devastating loss results from having experienced abundant love. Though desperately missing the deceased’s affection, companionship, and conversation, grievers mourn by mining memories with heartfelt, lifelong thankfulness.
