Nothing can really make it better, but perhaps it will sooth your heartache down the line to know that your grandfather will no longer be in pain.<br /><br />Congratulations on finishing your second book!

I'm a big believer in the idea that there are messages being delivered to us (From who? Who the heck knows, maybe just our own brain tissues.) through the good and bad shit of life, that there is much to learn from them. <br />It's very powerful to read about someone muddling through the raw emotions, as painful as it all is, because, most times, processing all this allows the message to shine through.<br /><br />Thinking of you, as I know death as well as the next guy, and I know it hurts.Meghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12994831420729922386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-76940140947450492972010-08-31T08:57:24.359-06:002010-08-31T08:57:24.359-06:00Found your blog the other day and I loved reading ...Found your blog the other day and I loved reading it. <br />One thing I totally hate about getting older is that a lot of people around me wilt.
