Thomas Rominger Morrison


I realize that most of this blog has been devoted to my parent's journey to the end, but wanted to share this picture of my grandparents, Tom and Martha Morrison.

Today is the 40th anniversary of my Granddaddy's death. August 17, 1968. I was 10. His death was my first experience with the death of a loved one. There was much I didn't understand at the time.

My Granddaddy was a fun man! My Dad said that he learned about affection from my Granddaddy. One thing I remember was that Granddaddy did not like cats..at all! When we moved back from Northern California to Southern California, we spent a week or so with my grandparents..We had not just 1 cat, but 2!!! As far as Debbie and I knew, we were hiding the cats from Granddaddy..years later I found out he knew all along..

So, here's to you Granddaddy!!! April 25, 1900 - August 17, 1968.
