Sobbing, they all walked by him; in groups they discussed how good he looked. I didn't understand. The rituals, the talk, the crying, it was all too much for me.

My grandfather, lying before...

My grandfather is 75 and does not, even to this day have a gray hair on his head. He is just an amazing man. From the way he looks and the way that he acts, you would think that he is 20...
