damn... i'm sorry to hear your great grandfather's gotta go. he sounds like an awesome guy. reckon it's really good that he gets to live on, in a way. i hope this soul he wants to join with is up for it.

man, it's cool you even know your great grandfather. must be an awesome way to be, knowin' so much of your family. be just like he was in his prime for most of that, too, wouldn't it?

anyway. sooner rather than later for alessa. yeah... okay. that's a good idea.

I hope she's up for it, too. But Joseph and I will be there to help explain to her (well, I'll be there to explain, Joseph will be there to look stoic and noble.)

It's very cool, and the rest of my family, well, they're going to be around practically forever. It's lucky we all get on ;)

Just let me know when a good time is, Tamm, and I'll be there.

stoic and noble. hell yeah. those features work well with good-lookin' blokes like us.

yeah, i know the value of gettin' on with family. ain't nothin' would come between me and my mum or my little sister.

weekend sounds good. i talked to bianca, and she wants to tell alessa just the two of 'em at first. she said we should totally hang around for the aftermath and what have you... or you should, at least, cos i don't know that alessa's gonna be right to be round me at all yet... but yeah, that's where things are at, i reckon.

I lost my grandfather recently, so I think I can relate to some of what you're feeling. I can't imagine what sort of thoughts and feelings must come with knowing that a significant part of him will be moving on to a new body, though. It must have a level of excitement to it, to be sure. And hope, as you say. It seems it is as much a positive beginning as an ending. Hopefully it will be a blessing for all involved *smiles*

To be honest, I can't believe in endings, not real ones. Bodies die, but our souls are forever, no matter where they are, be it somewhere on this earth or the next. But in no way does that mean I won't miss him, nor does it mean it won't be very strange, knowing that a soul that has been with him for over a hundred years will be in the body of this new woman. This is a very, very odd time... but I'm fond of odd, and all the new experiences odd brings, even if some of those experiences are difficult to deal with.

Ah, such good points you raise. It's true, no one really ends. Our souls cannot be destroyed, and we all must go somewhere. I'm glad you're good for the odd *smiles* I think I have to agree. Even with all the dark things that have happened, I wouldn't trade my knowledge of the wondrous things in this world. I'd be much poorer without the opportunity to understand people like you, Deirdre, Nancy, Scarlett... so many of my dearest.
