An Antonism

On the Fourth, while we were at Grandma Nielsen's house Anton was talking to Grandma about our activities the previous day.  This is how the conversation went.

Anton: "We went to a funeral yesterday."

Grandma:  "Yes, I know."

Anton, very matter-of-factly:  "Grandma died before the funeral."

Amidst the grief and despair of losing a grandmother I was very close to I was glad that Anton could make it so entertaining.  We are grateful that she died before her funeral and not after.  You will be missed greatly, Grandma!! I am also very grateful for the safe arrival of a brand new niece that bears my grandma's name, Jane Ida.
