The earth changes, Sarah's grandpa always said as they worked together in his garden. Like us, some part of it never dies. Everything and everyone goes on and on.
Now that Grandpa's gone, though, it's hard for Sarah to imagine "on and on" without him. But when loved ones gather to share stories of Grandpa, she begins to understand how much he meant to so many people. And when the harvest comes in and family and friends gather for a sunset supper, they make sweet new memories, reminding Sarah that everything and everyone truly does go on and on.
