During the Christmas of 1995, my grandpa got into the slush in an unprecedented way. As we opened presents, he put everyone's bows in his hair, on his nose, and in the place of his shirt buttons. On his big, round belly he put all of the bows he could fit. His contagious laughter spread to the entire family, and we still laugh about it to this day. This is one of my fondest memories of my grandpa. Little did we know, that was his last Christmas; he passed away four months later. I like to think of that Christmas as his swan song, a final hoorah to a life well-lived by a man who really cared about other people.
