I'll be in Chicago This Week

After a short illness, my grandmother died this morning. She came to America in 1928 just in time for the depression. Last year, she relived the experience of leaving Ireland for me. She said as her train pulled out of Sligo her dad was crying because he knew he'd never see her again, and he never did. She met my grandfather (from county Antrim) in America and although they were married about 35 years, he died in the early 70s, She ended up being a widow longer than she was married.
She was 94! She was very cool and super sharp till the end.

If you've been craving a vist from me, I will be in Chicago tomorrow through Thursday.
