  Paulie and Colleen saw each other most days, and she usually had a double lunch, one for herself and one for Paulie. They didn't share any classes, but they'd eat lunch together in one of the spare classrooms and keep up with what was going on in the family.
  
  "Oh, Grit's always busy," Colleen said. "You know how he is."
  
  "'Course I do," Paulie said as he laughed. "That's why we're in college because Grit's the way he is." Paulie took a bite of his sandwich and looked out the window, lost in thought.
  
  "Lots to remember, huh?" Colleen asked.
  
  "Yeah, all the good times, the hard times," Paulie said. "Grit taught me to be a man, brought me from boyhood to adulthood. And because of him, I think I can handle about anything that comes in life."
  
  "You've grown up before our eyes, Paulie," Colleen said.
  
  "Well, I've got a lot to learn, but from Grit I've learned to just go ahead and tackle a problem. Once you get to doing it, it's not nearly as hard as you think it'll be," Paulie said and laughed.
  
  "You have made the whole family proud," Colleen said. "And Grit still thinks the world of you and worries about your welfare."
  
  "I know," Paulie said. "He worries about all of us."
