86 yrs. ago today Warren G. Harding died. My grandma, who died at 104 earlier this year, was on a trip with her mom and grandma to Milwaukee when they heard the news. Grandma was talking about this event just a couple of years ago, describing the sadness of her family and their tears. She also described Harding as a "very handsome man." It's wild for me to think that someone I knew so well had a deep emotional connected with a gray, dull picture on a history textbook page.
Anders was born just little more than 6 months after Grandma passed away. I wish they could have met. There are things Anders will see and experience that I cannot imagine, just as my grandma experienced things I cannot comprehend. Both Grandma and Anders are exceptional and I am honored to know them both.
