My paternal grandfather was in the Army training to go to Europe to fight in the great war, but because of the flu was left behind when his group left for Europe. He and my grandmother always felt that his bout with the flu saved his life. My maternal grandfather also suffered from the flu, and was nursed back to health by his girlfriend, who later became his wife, my grandmother. I'm sorry that your grandfather was taken by the flu. What a tragedy, indeed.<br />Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00336729074703850201noreply@blogger.com
