Excerpt from My Grandfather's Eyes:

Lizzy gets married at a registry office, in the summer before my own wedding, and I am invited to attend, as I knew I would be. She is stronger than me, or else she does not feel the pain I feel. “You have to come, Al. Promise you will!” She knows I will do whatever she asks.
