This weekend we got the news that a relative passed away. He had a stroke a week ago from which he was unable to recover. Our primary connection with Uncle B, since he lives far from here, has been cards, wedding gifts, and thumbs-up on Facebook posts. Though a thin connection, a real connection, a connection we will miss. So with [tweetthis]grief to add bitters on the sweetness of gratitude, I offer thanks in no particular order.[/tweetthis]
