may you never have a cranky pancreas

If you'd asked me six months ago if I thought my grandfather would be the last of his brothers alive, I would have said no - partly because that was right after he had a major surgery, partly because the other of the five brothers was the youngest.
And then Mom's uncle was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer... I think a month ago? And things went downhill for him from there. Two days ago, he told his family to move him to hospice; he died this morning. Mom and Dad are going down over Mom's spring break, and they're having the services then so she can be there; my grandfather's still carrying on as well as he has been lately, but he's in no shape to travel himself.
In the immortal wisdom of Heywood Banks, may you never have a cranky pancreas, guys.
