It's So Much Darker When a Light Goes Out than It Would Have Been If It Had Never Shone - Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)[00:00:00]
I was ten years old when my grandparents on my father's side[00:00:01]
Celebrated the 50th anniversary of their marriage[00:00:19]
Our family piled into our tan '85 aero star[00:00:34]
The same one that famously died on the way to my[00:00:47]
Younger sister's dance recital when the entire drive shaft[00:00:55]
Dropped out from underneath and shot[00:01:05]
Like a torpedo down the open highway[00:01:11]
And made the three hour climb to Cadillac[00:01:24]
There was a reception held at the local v f w hall[00:01:31]
Where my grandfather was a member[00:01:50]
I remember meeting a lot of strangers[00:01:59]
Whose names or faces were either immediately lost[00:02:13]
Or never registered at all[00:02:24]
And how they would all tell us how excited they were[00:02:31]
To meet us[00:02:41]
Do you know how two trees can grow together and become like one[00:02:46]
When my grandmother died my grandfather died too[00:02:56]
It took two whole years to convince his body to let him go[00:03:04]
