Aw, just missed Chikat earlier- I'm staying in Lincoln Park, off Diversey.
I just got back from making my way to the Art Institute all alone, and I had myself a grand old time and bought lots of prezzies. The boy will be home from work in an hour or so, and has confirmed some sort of surprise plan that I get to know nothing about. I lurve Chicago.
JZ's grandfather died this afternoon. He'd been in failing health for the last two years, and recently they had to ampute his foot. I think he just let go after that.
He was sitting in the backyard in sunshine, with a breeze and just passed on. Not a bad way to go, really, and it was time.
But she's pretty sad now. He was the strong core of that family, and she's missing him.
Oh no, David, I'm sorry. Please convey my condolences to Jacqueline, too. May he rest in peace.
Jacqueline, my sincere condolences for your grandfather. I hope sorrow passes quickly, and thoughts of life lived lifts your heart.
I'm sorry to hear that, JZ.
My sympathies, Jacqueline, to you and your family. Peace to him, strength and peace to you.
So sorry, JZ. He got to see you grown into a wonderful, vibrant, warm woman and happily maried and I am sure that gave him great pleasure.
Wrong thread. So much for the headers helping wiht that.
