What is Faraway Grandpa about?

Dear Kathleen, Heard a new song. We'll sing it together this summer! Oops, almost forgot. The song is called "Danny Boy." Such a fine name! A poignant story about the changing relationship between a grandfather and his granddaughter as he succumbs to Alzheimer's disease Grandpa Danny sang bass, and Kathleen sang the high notes. That was the summer that Kathleen learned about listening with the heart and not the ears. But when it was time for her to visit with Grandpa Danny again, Gramps wasn't himself-he forgot things, and sometimes his mind seemed to be covered in clouds. Still, even on Grandpa Danny's most shadowy of days, Kathleen knew that when she sang "Danny Boy" he was listening with his heart. This poignant story about love and devotion will touch the hearts of readers young and old alike.
