He up and disappeared, marrying someone else whom, he discovered to his horror, was also barren (I like that biblical term). I think it took me until I was in college to understand her but we never did really get along. I still used to stop and visit, and they were usually cordial albeit guarded.George Stringamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375285536941813368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-82963588295690196372012-09-18T18:34:47.825-06:002012-09-18T18:34:47.825-06:00Brought tears to my eyes my dear.Brought tears to my eyes my dear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-63623910081281344512012-09-18T18:05:42.234-06:002012-09-18T18:05:42.234-06:00What a sweet story!
