SPOILER ALERT
If have not read Quiz #25. The onion just yet, you’re about to read the answer to the “What did NOT happen?” question from that quiz.
Here’s the answer:
What did NOT happen?
A. When my father showed us kids the family slides, he’d always stop at one, showing my family at the beach with his parents. He’d say, “That was the day Dad died.” That was my grandfather, Ed Thode;
B. My grandmother Adele had a sister Alice. They both lived into their ‘80s. I remember as a child being stunned when they’d say goodbye to one another at family functions. My aunt Allce would always say, “Well, Adele, if I don’t see you in heaven, I’ll see you in the other place;”
C. When my grandfather on my mother’s side, Bob Donahue, died of cancer in the early ‘60s, I remember we all visited him one last time at his house. He was sick and in bed. I made a sign, painted in pink and black. We called him “Par;”
D. The last time I was with my grandmother on my mother’s side, Marian, we watched Ed Sullivan on TV. I had no idea it would be the last time I would see her;
E. My father died on Good Friday in 2016. (I’ve never understood why they call today “Good” Friday.)
We watched "Batman" with Adam West. It's odd which memories stay with you--and which don't.
