My dad, Robert “Bob” Gratcyk, died on May 17, 2021. Thankfully, I was able to be with him for the last several hours of his life. He couldn’t speak. He had trouble breathing. His focus wasn’t there much of the time, but there were hints that he recognized me in...

Our life together works because we've both grown and learned along the way.
