my grampa died last night. it was something we totally were anticipating and i got to say goodbye before i left for the island. no matter how prepared you are for something like this though, it always throws you off just a little bit. my friends up here have been amazingly kind, compassionate, and helpful with listening and cheering me up. i'm ( Read more... )
