I hope to god it's not as bad as it sounds. Lord knows losing a grandpa is isn't a barrel of laughs. I know because I have none left. If I could, I'd have you spared of that anguish.

But if he has to go, do not alloe it destroy you. The gift of life is so much more extraordinary knowing that it is finite. It is one of the most natural things in the universe- Even stars die out eventually when they've expended all their fuel. Scientifically speaking, the brighter they burn, the shorter their lifespan is. The fact that bundles of stardust ejected from exploding supernovae came together, reacted with one another, and organized into living creatures is the most amazing part of it. If there is an afterlife, those molecules coming together in search of another existence is the best evidence I have seen for it. Your grandfather lived a full life, and judging by your love for him, clearly I can assume he was one who burned brightly. If it comes, do not mourn his death. Celebrate his life, which illuminated yours so vividly.
