Sad day. My Grandad slipped away this evening.
He was a lot weaker today and unresponsive. I left him just before 7 tonight and he passed away just before 9.30pm. My Mum and Dad were with him. It was peaceful at the end. Which I guess is all you can wish for.
I'm sad. But happy too that he had a good life and it ended well.
Everybody should believe in something.
I believe I'll have another coffee!

Thanks Quirky!
My general view of death is to celebrate the life that was, not mourn it.......so I'm trying to make that my philosophy right now.

I like that! My Dad and I were discussing that all my Grandad's friends are dead already! My Dad's side of the family is so small. He was an only child. I think it might be a quiet funeral. I guess that measn I'll have to take my maracas and liven the proceedings up with a song.....

I am sorry about your loss Niobe... and I think you are right in terms of celebrating the life and the legacy of those who had left this world... that is what counts afterall.

Oh mood: Totally forgot. Had dr visit today. Told him that I'm usually completely wound up with racing thoughts every night about 5. He didn't change anything.
OMG - Is it five? Is it five? I need Rice A Roni, I wonder if the bird is happy, I need to replace the kitchen light, maybe I'll have a nice soaky bath, I wonder what's on TV, OH PBS lightning strikes cool, well - cool to learn about ... not to have, there's that supermodel show, I really need to clean my room again, I wonder why my room gets so messy, I need to get a chest of drawers......
You're really into rice a roni, aren't you? I am having rice cakes... ... my mood is ok... I am little tired though... I have been working non-stop in a project. I need some vacation... ohh... let's see... Aruba... yeah... a week there would work wonders...
