Remembering....
Nine years does not seem possible. Yet, we are still remembering...
I remember shortly after your funeral when 10-year old William asked, "Mom, was Grandpa famous?" He had not participated in many funerals and was impressed by how many family, friends, neighbors, police officers (the NYPD Ceremonial Unit), etc. came to the funeral mass to pay their respects and honor retired patrolman, William F. Hughes, Shield #20245.
I responded, "No, Grandpa was not famous, just loved ."
