Another nephew rose to declare that Abe had told him he was the favorite meatball. Abe's body might have been inside, but his spirit was with us in that room. The legacy he left behind was love, and it was palpable. We all went back to David and Diana's house for something to eat. There, on the table next to the coffee urn, was the biggest, most beautiful chocolate cake I'd ever seen.
Life is pretty much back to normal now.
