Unhappy This is horrible!

My Grandfather just died or is in the process of, he went from sick on Thursday to this today. I'm a wreck and am leaving for FL tomarrow at 4:30. I have no idea when I will be back, probably next weekend.

I'm a mess right now so see you in a week; Brian is in charge.

I lost my g-pa last May, right on finals week... he was in his 90's. Ended up failing one of my finals, getting an F in that class, and doing poorly on another final and got myself a D. Then I rushed over to LA 400 miles away for the funeral. Can't concentrate on finals when my grandpappy died, imagine that!

Well over the summer I retook the D, got an A, and I'm going for another A to replace the F.

Ugh

Sorry Chris. It's never easy when family members pass on. I've recently suffered the loss of my aunt........survived till 94 years of age.........

It's difficult........but, you'll get though it.

I'll keep an eye on the ship.

Damn, Hattie, that sucks. Very sorry to hear that. You have our condolences.

My grandfather went from coming to work every day (he retired at 70 but came in almost every day until he died at 86) to catching a "cold" to passing away all within a week several years ago, so I can relate somewhat.

Bummer.
