grandfather

My grandfather died. I no longer have grandparents. I am sad, but it was my grandfather's time. He wasn't leading a good life anymore. After my grandmother died this past summer, he had a stroke and things were just not good. So now my family and I are all flying down (separately, my dad from NC, me and my brother at 1pm, and my mom at 4pm from Erie) and spending Christmas with the extended family. I am actually ridiculously excited, although it will be a sad mood I'm sure. But I love my family and look forward to seeing them. Christmas will really feel like Christmas.

So tomorrow, New Orleans, here I come! I shall return to the cold the following Monday. Hello sun and warmth and family.
