“Since Eddie had to work throughout vacation, the plans were made for the girls to spend the first week at Grandpa and Grandma Pribil’s, and the second week at Grandpa and Grandma Olczak’s. After a dismal week putting up the Christmas tree at home and trying to make a joyful occasion out of one that dredged up painful memories of Krystyna, Eddie succumbed to the girls’ pressuring, got one of his nephews to ring the evening Angelus and took the girls out to their Grandma Pribil’s late Friday afte...rnoon.Krystyna’s mother was doing a valiant job of keeping her chin up.
