Saying Goodbye to a Loved One..

Thanks, and apologies for bringing any bad memories back.

No need to apologize. I'm just still processing the whole thing. This stuff is the hardest. My thoughts are with you.

we recently had a goodbye FaceTime w/my wife's grandfather, who passed away after a fall at age 96. he declined over the course of a couple of days and knew it was coming. it was harder than i thought (i had found myself an extra grandfather later in life in him, he was a positive decent guy to the end) but i was glad to see him one last time. we didn't have much to say to him, he didn't have much to say to us, i think he was just tired and ready to go. in his words a couple months before, "your aunt and uncle can just toss me in the back of the U-haul and bring me down to the plot and drop me in, it's all the same to me ha ha."
