As an adult, I realized that was an example of being submissive to the one you trust with everything. Grandpa showed and proved his intentions to lead our family with care and good intentions. She stood firmly by his side, even up until his last days when, as she told me, he said to her that he didn’t want her to be sad that he was going Home because his heart would always be here. She never wavered, never ceased, just continued to hold a forever-steady love.
