...a good man is lost

[concrete13]

Most of you know that i consider you guys as close to me as flesh and blood. And as family, i thought i would let you know that a deep blow has been dealt to me. My grandfather, Hugh Brown, finally lost his valiant fight with cancer today, March 30, 2003. He was one of the strongest influences in my life and is partly responsible for making me

I'm so sorry... I know that sounds cliche, but there's nothing else I can really say, because I am just that- sorry. I lost my grandfather to Altzheimers (sp?) a couple months ago, and I won't bore you with the details of the depression I went through (this is, afterall, about you, not me), but it's never easy losing someone you loved, regardless of age and circumstance. I also won't bore you with other cliche advise (keep the memories- people live through those) because you're going to deal with this however you see fit. I will, however, say that if your grandfather is, at least in part, responsible for making you the man you are today, then your grandfather truely was an incredible individual, and this nation has suffered a loss in his death.

I'm sorry, Sean...

I'm always here if you need, as I'm sure many of us are.

I could lie and say you'll be in my prayers but I think we both know I don't pray, but you Will be in my thoughts. Be safe

*hugs*
Take care
