My grandmother lost her eldest son and her husband within 9 months. My mother was a teen at the time, now she is 91. Two days ago, I pulled up her brother’s obit and info on Find-A-Grave. As she walked into the room, she saw his photo on the monitor. Startled, she cried out, “That looks just like my brother!” She sat down, and we went through all of the info posted on the website. It was a memorable afternoon.
How very fitting... I have no one left to discuss, but a sister ... who also served .. in the first battle for Babylon... Bless your mom, she too is a ‘war’ hero.
