Violet, Herbie, Big Weld and Grandpa
The kids have their different ways of getting along without Grandpa. Violet is sad and sometimes will mention sitting in the chair and watching Star Wars or other movies with Grandpa or driving Grandpa's tractor. When you say who loves Grandma, Big Weld always says "love Grandpa". Herbie thinks a little deeper. Once when my DIL was crying Herbie asked why she was crying. When she said she was sad about Grandpa, Herbie said once he held on to Grandpa's hands and walked up him and touched the ceiling. "That's funny Mom". Another time, Herbie and Big Weld had tried to flush a comb down the tolet and Grandpa went to their house to get it out. Just the other day, Herbie told Mom that Grandpa said "no, no, no, dont flush a comb down the tolet". They all know Grandpa is in Heaven and they are keeping his memory in their own ways.

Children may be resilient but they never forget. Violet and the boys are truly lucky to have lasting memories of Larry. And hopefully no one will ever flush another comb (or anything else!) down the toilet. May we all be grateful for that sage advice.
I'm wondering about "The Pilot."
He commented recently to me in an email about the twins always being in "full throttle."
Tell me, mother of the pilot, what was that boy like when he was a tiny guy?
Comparing "The Pilot" to the little boys, I would have to say that he ran at 1/2 throttle. Early on he loved to sit and be read to for hours at a time. He did love to play with his tractors and other farm machinery; but he went at a slower pace. In the summer his hair turned almost white from the sun and the Russian people would say he looks like a little Russian boy.
