Hi Steve,
Loved your story about the hot candle wax and Merry

I think that was pretty smart of you to use a little reverse psychology on her to help her get over being so upset. You sound like you were a wonderful husband and friend to her....good for you

Makes lots of wonderful memories for you to treasure.
Yes, my grandmother was a very strong and able woman. I know she must have suffered for the loss of her family at such a young age....then her own children and husband. She never seemed sad or bitter....always loving and kind.
I am American
jj, hope you are well by now. I have been getting over the flu, too. It's one nasty bug!
