    About this ebook

    The events over twenty-four hours following the death of a patriach, as seen through the eyes of his elderly wife, his adult daughter, and his young great grandson. As the day and evening pass, with each person reacting in their own way to the rituals, events, and family interactions of what transpires, the period culminates in an understanding of a single passing comment and what it really means when two people, who have been married for sixty-four years, are so in love.
