My grandpa died today

Yep, he lived a long (74 years old) and great life despite his severe medical conditions. I've come to realize that death should be a time of happiness, rather than mourning. Cried for a few minutes but the rest of the day I kept myself reminded of all the happy and good times with him; that's all that matters. Now, he's up in Heaven, relaxing, and free from his suffering. And too add, he was a Catholic, extreme lover of science (especially astronomy), extremely intelligent on just about every topic there is, and was a very computer-savy. He was just a well-rounded individual for his age Anybody else experience a loss recently?

    I'm very sorry to hear that. The last loss I had was my grandfather as well who passed away December 2012. It's funny actually. He had so many army and aircraft related books. He fixed planes in Montana during WWII. This month I did some research about a book I wanted to read that had something to do with the Cold War online. Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy looked pretty good. But I didn't want to go all the way to the book store to get it. Well, I looked through all the books we were able to save from his house before we sold it, and there it was...Red Storm Rising by Tom Clancy that he had bought in 1986, which I'm now what I'm reading. That made me really happy just finding that book.
