My grandpa (George Elmer "Greeley" Jobe) passed away on my first full day of first grade (August 31, 1959).
It was a rainy morning dark and gray when his soul winged its way to Heaven.
I had no idea that he had passed until I got home from school.
This song has always reminded me of that day in my personal history.
I could personally feel the pain--even worse than mine--of those children who came home from school on 9-11-01 to learn that one or both parents weren't coming home again...
