Menen Is Special


My Grandmothers second husband died a few years ago. He was very ill towards the end of his life and I helped extensively with his care. Upon his death, and in the midst of her grief, his widow wrote the obituary. She listed all of the family members and neglected to single out any other relatives in the article - except me.

Now I like to believe she was attempting to acknowledge my assistance when she said, ". . . and one very special grandson named Menen." Surely, no one thought that I was mentally or physically challenged in some way, right?
