I am so sorry for your loss, and especially sorry that your grandfather has to go through this time of pain.

I am only about five years younger than your grandmother so also give thanks that, despite aches and pains and a close encounter with colon cancer, my health is pretty 'good for my age'.

Drink lots of fluids with your cold. I hope that you all are feeling better soon.

I'll be sure to go get something to drink right now!

And to be sick on top of everything else! Ugh!
