Just posting to let people know that my grandfather just died.
I'm not really sure what to add to that.
And Mom and Dad just got home.
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

I lost my grandma two years ago. Cancer. She was so vital and then bam. Everything just taken away, without rhyme or reason.
Just letting you know that others have been where you are.

I'm sorry Paul. Loosing a grandfather is never easy. One of mine died two years ago after being sick for a very long time. My thoughts are with you and your family at this time. ~Anna.
Lois: Jimmy, give me back my dress.
Clark: Now there's something you don't hear around the newsroom everyday.

So sorry to hear about your grandfather. I know it must be especially difficult at this time of year too. Big (((HUGS))) to you and your family Paul.

Thanks to everyone who expressed their sympathies here and elsewhere.
He had a long life, a loving family, and a fairly easy end. I think that's as much as any of us can really ask for.
Now those of us who are left just have to find our way in this new world.
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.
