I joined (or atleast tried to join) the inner beauty community, and I was reading previous entries of yours and clicked on your journal. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about your grandfather. I just recently lost mine to cancer... so I know how you must feel! My name is Michelle, and you are more than welcome to check out my journal. You're user info seems to prove that we have some things in common. (things I didn't list as interests). Just wanted to give you my condolences and say hello! -Michelle
