My Grandpa

Haven't been writing as much as usual, sorry folks.
My grandfather has been ailing (he has a terminal condition - Pulmonary Fibrosis). Basically, over time, his lungs are filled with scarring, and eventually he won't be able to breathe. Currently, he is on oxygen 24/7, and is at the point where walking a mere 5 feet from living room chair to dining room chair puts him out of breath and puffing for more air.

Time is running out.
We have known this was coming eventually, but it doesn't make it any easier.
I've been driving to see him about once a month or so, and this month is no exception.
On the upside, I have been able to see family that I hadn't seen in years, as many people are coming to visit him. Also, we make every visit a good one (good food, wine, movies, talking, art, etc).
Each visit is as good as it can be, because you never know when it will be the last one.

May all of you be so lucky to have time with your families to celebrate one another. This is what I wish for you in March.

Happy early St. Patrick's Day!
