Very touching words, Paul. Unlike you and Grace, I only saw my grandfathers on photographs - one circa late 1930s, and another late 1960s... You ARE wonderful grandfather and Grace is so lucky to be your granddaughter.
The world is so much smaller than we actually think. So, I am sure you and Grace will keep close. Maybe, it is time for you to take a break and travel a bit. I, for one, would be honored and very happy to shake your hand in person. I think that traveling will do good for you.
