Karen Lynn Vidra, The Texas Tornado, click here to update your pages on AuthorsDen.




     My grandpere' is sad today. You see, today marks the anniversary of his wife's death. Even though he is remarried to a lovely Cajun lady named Therese he still cannot forget the memory of his first wife, Claudia, who died of cancer. (She died 5 years ago. They had been married 30 years.)

I look at his tanned, tear-stained cheeks and the twin rivulets of tears cascading down his face; and I get a lump in my throat. How I wish I could think of a way to cheer him up!...

Now grandpere' may not have much education, and his English may not be all that great, but I know how he is feeling just by looking at his face and at his eyes. And I know today he aches for his deceased wife. She really suffered with this cancer business. She lost a lot of weight and she lost all her hair, and she died in excruciating pain. I know. I saw her die. It was very upsetting. I don't think I'll ever forget it as long as I live.

My grandpere's name is Armand Moliere'. He may be 65, but today he looks considerably older.

Jesus, have Mercy on my grandpere' Armand's soul...
