“Did Gramps tell you I visited the other day?” Dick asked.
“That was awfully considerate of you, Richard, flying all the way to Mayo Clinic.”
“Gramps went on and on about how he admires my integrity and my desire to make the world a better place.”

“He even said he was going to help us with living expenses – twenty five, fifty thousand dollars – I don’t remember exactly.
“You’ll have to wait till they bring him out of his coma.” she said.
