Alright I'm back. I read all your replies, and since you guys were so swell, I guess I should explain exactly why I had to leave. <br><br>Unfortunately it is something serious. My grandfather, "Papa", is lying in a hospital bed, dying. At first I thought it was because his doctor messed up his medicine, but apparently his kidneys are failing. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>But I'm okay with it now. I'll miss the "Miss America" intro he sings for me everytime I walk into the room, but I guess everybody has to die someday. I'm not too worried about him either. He had a long, fruitful life and he's one of the most selfless people I know. God bless him.<br><br>But it's kind of weird too. My Nana asked the doctors to take him off Life-Support so now we're basically just waiting around for him to kick the bucket. It'll be like the next time he has a heart attack, we're just not going to do anything... <!--emo&:blink:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /><!--endemo--> <br><br>But most likely, he's going to die in his sleep.<br><span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>(I'm going to miss his voice the most...)</span><br><br>So that's why I had to leave for the weekend.

Awww, that's not good. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> He sounds like a wonderful person. At least he had a good life, that's all anyone can ask for.

My grampa passed away in April.

Aww, Talitha, that is indeed sad news. Well, of all the ways to go, I would think it a relatvely nice one, as it gives people like you and your family time for prepare, and a chance to say goodbye. Few people ever get that chance.<br><br>*finds a Midi among the <a href='http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/fitzg ... den_4.html' target='_blank'>Original MIDI Sequences By Ron Tilden</a>*<br><br><span style='color:#64008D'><i>There she is, Miss America!<br>There she is, your ideal!<br>The dream of a million girls,<br>Who are more than pretty,<br>Can come true in Atlantic City<br>For she may turn out to be...<br>The Queen of femininity!<br><br>There she is, Miss America!<br>There she is, your ideal!<br>With so many beauties she took the town by storm <br>With her all-American face and form!<br><br>And there she is!<br>Walking on air, she is<br>Fairest of the fair, she is!<br>Miss America!!</i></span><br><br>May his memory remain in your heart, and his love live on with you.

Sorry to hear about that <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I'm terribly sorry to hear that. My condolences. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>

You have my deepest sympathies ='(<br><br>My grandfather also has kidney problems. He may be around for a few more years, he may not, who knows...it's sad that it has to happen. May he live on in a better world.

My deepest sympathies Talitha.

I know how you feel. My grandfather died last October.<br><br>It's good that you got to see him. I'm sure he liked that. It's also a good thing that you're not terribly broken up over it. I'm sure he's had a good life. "There's a time and a place for everything," someone said.<br><br>One more thing. *hugs Talitha* You might need that.<br><br>And... *hugs Ankaris* You too.

My thoughts with you and your family. I know how little words like that can mean, but I really do mean them.
