Granddad

I just learnt that my great-great-great granddad passed away yesterday...

Ten minutes before that I put a 100 pesos coin away for him. The last time we spoke he asked me to collect a coin from each country I visit. I remember our almost 2-hour conversation - I was in New York walking around Union square, shopping for goat cheese on the Sunday market. The last time he emailed me was on May 15 about my Machu Micchu hike. His heart pacemaker stopped on May 16 and now he is gone. But thousands of fantastic memories I keep to myself. I will never forget.
