When I think on bygone times, June, 2009

So now I am grandfather of two, Joseph R. Mina and Andrew B. Cech born March 4th, 2009. Meghan is a mom, Amanda is a mom and Sarah is becoming a doctor. My own baby, Samantha will be twenty-three this August. I feel old. My great Uncle Lefty, Alfred Frank Zelsdorf passed away in February, at the age of 94. He was my mom's favorite uncle and the last real connection to her. Susan's brother Michael also passed this year, on the 4th of March, the same day Andrew was born, within half an hour of the event, in fact. "In the midst of life, we are all in death."
