My grandfather has had another severe stroke. His brain can't stop bleeding, even with doctors thickening his blood with medications. He will die in anywhere between a couple days to two weeks. I won't be home for Christmas, but in Idaho Falls attending a funeral, or staying with my grandpa, waiting for him to die. I never really knew him too well, but we got along pretty well. He always built Rc planes and flew them at a special little Rc park. Once, when I was little, around six or five, he took a model B-52 bomber, stapled streamers to tootsie rolls, and carpet bombed me and the rest of the crowd at the demonstration/competition. Dick Barker is a wonderful man, and we will miss him greatly once he passes.

Mando laare.
