Sarah's grandmother is dying.

Not of some illness or the result of an accident, but of old age. Rachel Kaufman is 93 years old, and in the four years I've known her, she has slown down very nearly to the point of stopping.

On Sunday, we went to have lunch with her. It was time for Asher's lunch, too, so Sarah and I were feeding him at the table. Across from Asher, Sarah's mom was feeding Rachel. Bookends of life. It was a very sharp image to take back with me.
