What a warm and loving reflection on your grandmother, Ed. Hers is a life well lived, even -- perhaps especially -- now. Prayers for her, you, and your whole family.

"soccer, if you must "

I don't understand why others (Brits, in particular) look down on using "soccer" to name the sport. It's not like Americans invented the term (the English did); nor is it only Americans who use the term (see: Canada, Australia, South Africa, etc.).

In fact, the ENGLISH even use the term still. The oldest continuously published magazine in the UK dedicated to the sport is called World Soccer. The magazine was first published in London; and is currently based in Farnborough, an hour's drive from the English capital.
