Papa is Deb's grandfather. He is 86 years old, and last weekend he fell and cracked six of his ribs. He is in the hospital still, and while his ribs seem better, his body is tired and has been through a lot.
Henry Pagliarulo is a proud, sometimes stubborn man...hey, he's Italian. Since Nana passed away 17 years ago he has lived alone, but he has always remained active and busy. Just recently he hosted 9 of us at his cottage for supper, doing all the cooking himself.
It's hard to watch someone you love deal with pain. It may be even harder to watch those you love struggle with the uncertainty and frustration that comes when a new chapter in life unfolds. I wish I could do something to help ease all of their pain.
