Well I just had some bad bad news. My UK grandmother who I adore is not going to last until 2009. She is 96 and a fabulous woman - a total ratbag in the best way. But she has been in a nursing home for a number of years but has powered through until now. We were told today that she is really not well. But she has had a fabulous life and she will be missed. I hope they are taking good care of her in these last few hours.

thanks babe - I might be taking a super quick flight to the UK in the next week or so. Mainly to support Dad as he is NOT going to take this well at all.

Gomionna,
Sorry to hear about your granny taking a turn for the worse. I know it's shat when people die but at 96 that bird has flown a grandiose and long life. We should all be so lucky. Even so I know your dad will be heart broken. It's hell losing a parent no matter the age. I wish you all the best.

Sorry to hear about your grandmother GG. :(
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
