LDM may be out of touch for a bit...Update 1-28-14
« on: January 22, 2014, 10:01:31 PM »
Tomorrow I am going to the Hospital to visit my paternal Grandmother, very likely for the last time.  She is in a coma and they believe she has a day or two left.  I will be taking my children to say goodbye and learn about what it means to die.  I know I have posted about her health problems throughout the past few years, but I have that feeling in my gut that this will be it and God is calling her home.  She would be happy if she were lucid enough to realize what was happening.  She is quite religious and always has been.   I'll be okay, but I have to be there for my family just now.

I will likely be posting a few completed projects over the next few days, but PM responses and email responses will be slower than normal. 

Thanks for understanding, everyone.

My Prayers and Thoughts are with you and your family. May you all have peace and understanding through everything that happens over the next few days. 

Pass on what you have learned. Strength. Mastery. But weakness, folly, failure also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is. We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters. ~Master Yoda~

I know that each of us must go through this, but it does not diminish anyone's individual journey.  I truly appreciate all of the great support.

Man, that sucks. I'm sorry, dude. My grandpa is in the last stages of Alzheimer's right now so I can empathize. But you're a good man for using the opportunity to teach your kids some valuable life lessons. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts.
Though this is the end of the age of heroes, it has saved its best for last.

So sorry to hear this LDM.  But it sounds like you have a healthy perspective on this, plus you have a good support network within your family.  Us here in the saber community will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayer too.
