A Little Epiphany - (and a newbie delurking)

[Dia]

Thanks folks - quick post tonight. I have only just made it home from H's place. While I was on the road, my mother called me saying my grandfather was ill and wanted to be taken to the hospital. Since I was already enroute, a small detour put me on their doorstep w/in 45 mins of her call.

Grampa is 86 and has become increasingly frail over the last several years. We (my gramma and I) took him to urgent care and they had him transported to the hospital by ambulance. I'll spare you the gory details, but this may be it for him.

For those of you with military backgrounds, Gramp was a Navy pilot in WWII, flying escort missions from Alameda to Manila and playing in the jazz band. His wings are pinned to his Navy ballcap which he wore into the ambulance.

Prayers, candles and good thoughts are most welcome.
