Mourning

My grandfather passed away yesterday. He was living in a nursing home and would have turned 85 later this month. Though I was expecting to get the call about his death sooner or later, it still hurts terribly. I am blessed to have such a great group of friends around. While I was working at the desk last night, I was given a sympathy card with everyone's signatures on it. I'm truly blessed to have those friends, and to have known my grandfather. He was quite a character: strong and stubborn till the end, but with a soft heart when it came to children. I'm going to miss him.
