So, how is that weather?

Well.........last night I watched my Father's Father die. Got word he was getting worse so I caught a bus for 2hours and within an hour and a half of being at the hospital he died. He'd been suffering from recurring heart attacks and was in a coma, but he opened his eye's and his mouth twitched into a smile for a second and then his breathing became really spaced out and then he just didn't take another breath. My Father's Mum was inconsolable, they'd been together for 54 years, married for 51, he was almost 78 years old and had lived long enough to see a great-grandson, he lived a good life as a sheep shearer and then a farm owner, but it was time he was laid to rest, he was suffering and it was just time for his body to fail. The funeral will be on Thursday, my second in as many weeks, and I know that my grandmother won't live long without him, she definitely doesn't want to live without him, everyone has been telling her to be strong and live her life, but if I could get her alone I'd tell her that I'd rather she died and 'went to be with him' then live a long life in misery. Since she's Catholic she can't kill herself, won't go to 'Heaven' where he is, but I think her body will just give up now. I miss Sian.
