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. 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. <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /> 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. 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... <img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /blink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='blink.gif' /> But most likely, he's going to die in his sleep. (I'm going to miss his voice the most...) So that's why I had to leave for the weekend.

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

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. *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>* There she is, Miss America!

You have my deepest sympathies ='( 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.

I know how you feel. My grandfather died last October. 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. One more thing. *hugs Talitha* You might need that. 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.
