GIMA - I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather, but like you said he is in no more pain. Also, think of it as the opportunity for him to reunite with your dad.
On another note.....mmmmmmm....sauteed garlic and pine nut spinach! YUM-O!
Donuts???? OMG! I haven't had one of those in ages! Were they the KK variety of the DD kind?

Sorry to hear of your loss GIMA, I was very close to my grandfather, so know that can be a tough time as well. Sending my thoughts your families way, sounds like your handling things well.
Those donuts sound good though. all this food talk lately I am going to have to be axtra vigilant in the gym!

On board the D train now..
"Suffering is when we try to change what we cannot."
Off to southern part of the state to be with family for grandfather's funeral. Hugged and kissed kids after packing a bag. Weird that I think I'm going to miss W for the weekend.
Kids have things going on on Mon (when funeral is) that they cannot miss.
My brother is riding down with me. Will be good since he got me through some rough spots in my sitch. And we might get some fishing in.
It is strange to need my W's love and support for the first time in a while and it not be there. I am strong enough to be fine. It's just sad though. Maybe my feelings haven't faded as much as I thought.
My aunt who was like a second mother to me passed away last October after a very long illness (11 years) and it was the first major tragedy to befall my family since xh walked out. It was extremely painful to not have him to just hold me when I needed it most.
I think it's the times like these that can either sink a R or give it a beacon. I'm going to pray for that beacon for you. I know you love your W even though the emotional separation is doing damage.
Take care of you and drive safely.

Rreading your posts make me see that I'm not all that crazy. I was getting pretty strong a couple of weeks ago. It comes and goes though. It's only natural that she's the person who you look to for support. Afterall, she has been the most important person in your life for a LONG time. Maybe she will remember that you have been this person for her too.

My brother and I are going to be staying with my grandmother. Really glad I am here to help while she deals with my grandfather's death. We spoke to her tonight and she told us some stories about their typical days lately.
As I am hearing my grandmother tell these stories about how she and my grandmother used to laugh when my g'father's mechanical chair would make a noise when it moved and how he liked to play with the controls for it. Silly story, but I could see how much she loved him in the way she told the story. They were M'd for more than 60 years. What are we doing wrong these days?
Maybe next trip I will ask her what makes a good M. She should know.
