I had one of the worst calls last night from my parents. They told me the only grandparent i have ever known passed away yesterday. even in his late 80's this surprises me as he is a very stubborn and strong willed. I truly believe even with his recent health problems over the last few years that he had actualy given the grim reeper a weggy and kicked the bag of bone down a flight of stairs. He is like a old german sheperd (incredibly sweet and loyal to his family and quick to act when they are threatened) I will miss him...
