it's amazing what will give us a little perspective, isn't it? one thing my dad always taught me was that no matter how bad you might feel you have it, no matter how hard you might be struggling...there's ALWAYS someone else who is worse off than you. i guess that's why i only have my 'princess' moments a few times a year now. lol.

you're an awesome guy, kevin. you can do this.

My prayers go out to you and your family Kevin. Remember the good times, which you will, and always cherish those moments you had with your grandma. Time does heal all wounds, believe me.

Keep grandma in your thoughts as you make your move to God's Country (anything west of the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.) When you get settled in Greeley, let me know. I may be heading down through there this fall to New Mexico, and I'd love to meet you.

Zero, when our seniors pass away, although sad, it is a time to celebrate their lives. You've done some wonderful things for her and others during her last days, which should always make your feel good in the future when you reflect on this time. God bless.

I do not know much about dealing with pressure, so I cannot emphasise but I do know something Kevin...

You are much stronger than the sum of your worries, I only know you in a Forum environment and can honestly tell myself this, and believe it.

It's bittersweet how the inevitable always seems the most difficult to deal with. I sure do have a desperate hope that things perk up.

Shewt, iv'e seen you in action, hollering and typing with furious frenzy keeping gameday from becoming an utter trainwreck!

You are our captain, and you are strong.

Thanks guys.

She passed away at 2pm today. I found out about an hour or so after that. She went peacefully and painlessly, so that's good.

This loss is less difficult than my mother and I think that was because Grandma lived a full life, in my opinion. She was 85 years old. When she was an early teen she was diagnosed with diabetes in her early teens. I'm told she was given a time frame to live not past her 20's. I remember her telling me she was a miracle and it's because of her faith in God. She was Catholic.

I'm happy she went gently and on her 'own terms' so to speak and I'm glad I was still in Wisconsin so I could speak with her and say my good byes.

I feel very fortunate.

That's her obituary.


Edit, someone at ManorCare said she weas 85. I thought she was born in '32 so that didn't make sense, but the obituary says '31 making her 78, if my math is right.
