We visited Rebecca's grandpa today. The last time we saw him was almost two years ago and we were both excited for the opportunity. We spent the afternoon with him in his retirement home and brought him some cake and red wine, which we had to smuggle into the facility.

He talked a lot about his children, his wife, his friends and World War II. It's so hard to imagine that Rebecca's grandpa and my grandpa were fighting each other during a war. And here I am, 70 years later, married to a girl from the United States and hoping to live with her here until the day I die.
