Wife has left and filed for divorce

[vertex]

My grandpa in California is dying and my W e-mailed me this morning from her dad's e-mail account (breaking the mutual RO in the process):

"H,



I am very sorry to hear that Grandpa is nearing the end. I hate that he has been in such terrible pain recently and I think this might be a relief for him. Although incredibly painful for all of us who love him.




I don't know what condition he is in but dad says they are going to take him off of dialysis. If he is still coherent I feel strongly that you should go say goodbye in person.




And if you talk to him, please tell him how special he is to me and how much I truly love him and have valued him as part of our sons' heritage.

And don't let your shyness or embarrassment keep you from talking to him and telling him you love him and what he has meant to you. I would hate for you to have any regrets like you did with Boppa.




Prayers for grandpa, you and all the family,

W




Philippians 1:20b-23

but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far;"

Do I respond? How should I respond? What does this mean?

Remember, this is her first contact with me since 8 weeks ago. And we have a mutual RO against each other (not my choice).
