I knew this day would come

My father called me at 3:39 this morning with news that my grandfather had passed away. He was a few weeks shy of his 90th birthday. This is a picture I took when I visited last December. His health had been on a long decline for a while, so it's one of those things that I knew was going to happen sooner or later. When I saw the area code of the incoming call, I pretty much guessed what it was about.

Among the things that he would often ask me about is when I would get promoted to major. I think he was proud of me.
