I got the call this morning that EA was gone.

I am so glad we went to visit a couple of weeks ago.

I'm glad he saw Evelyn twice.

I don't know if he ever knew that their shared initials were intentional.

There is so much I want to tell you about him and how wonderful he was, 

but I can't really form the thoughts right now to write out all the ways he influenced me.

I am so profoundly grateful to have known him and to have him be my grandpa.
