Grave

You have my condolences for your loss.  When next I open a bottle, I'll pour a shot in her honor.

Aww, thank you very much, friend. That means a lot to me.

Everybody has their own traditions where these things are concerned, of course, but that's been one way that my family has honored the fallen for as long as I can remember.  Years ago, when my father lost the first of his brothers, we actually shared a bottle of said brother's favorite whiskey that had been left in his home.  Poured a shot and left it sitting on the railing of his back porch overnight-- obviously, it was empty by the time we collected it at dawn, but not because any of us had taken it!  So, a question for you: did your Nanna share with you the info on her favorite drink?
