My grandfather went and died today. With his typically contrarian approach to things he did it while we were all fussing over my almost-certainly-dying grandmother. I have to wonder if he did it because he didn't want to be the one left over, or whether he just wanted to see if we were paying attention. I wouldn't put it past him

Sorry =(

[mrspleen]

Thanks, man.

I'm sorry to read this.

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.

You know, I bet you in particular would really have liked him and his incurable Vatican-II-osity. Thanks.

Oh Sari, I'm so sorry

I do wish we had a better verb tense to use. Apparently in linguistics there is such a thing as the plain "nonfuture" tense, but English doesn't have one. Stupid English.

You totally draw on your experience with Isobel. That's okay too.

Hugs.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

I think grief is one of those things that's going to take another geological epoch or so to really get the hang of. I mean, walking upright is still pretty touch and go.

I'm here if you need anything.

But we're so very good at setting things on fire. Too bad that doesn't apply to all situations.

I am really, really sorry to hear about that.
I only met Wally once, but he was very real and very alive in my life because of the vivid, vivid stories you told me.

I am just so sorry.

[gablog2]

That was me.
Damn.

That's really oddly comforting to hear. Thanks for listening to them, lady.
