thank you everyone. My grandfather passed away last night around 11pm.

My dad was very understanding that I wasn't able to come up.

He's taking the loss of his father very hard. He sounded horrible today when I talked to him. So please prayers for him that he can find some peace and acceptance.

and also prayers for my grandmother. she's holding up OK but she's very lonely. They've been married for 65+ years and for her husband to be taken so suddenly and be alone is going to be tough on her.
