Lunch with Mom and Gram before I leave.

Gram has always been insistent that you should never "Say goodbye." I learned this at a young age when I was sad to say goodbye to visiting relatives from Ireland.

Me(age six): Then what do you say?

Gram: Just say 'See you later.'

Me: But what happens if a person dies?

Gram: You will see them later. Just in heaven. There is no such thing as goodbye.

I guess morbidity runs in the family.
