Although I had never met my maternal grandfather, I knew that he had been five feet, six inches tall, while my grandmother stood five feet, eleven inches.
As a teen-ager while leafing through an old photograph album with my Grandmother, I finally realized how unusual they must have looked together.
"Grandma," I asked, "how could you have dated and fallen in love a man almost half a foot shorter than you?"
She turned to me, gave me a sensuous wink and said, "Honey, we fell in love sitting down, and when I stood up, it was way too late."
