Oh, I LOVE this dh!! So many things here remind me of my own grandfather, who's been gone for about 15 years now... particularly, "You held heavy responsibility lightly with love." What a great line!! Thanks so much for sharing this!

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
