In remembrance

My kids' grandfather (affectionately called "pee-paw" in their baby days) and my former father-in-law passed away this morning from a heart attack. It's hard for me to wrap my mind around, mostly because he wasn't that old (61) and he had just been at the hospital the week before for his heart condition. I'm not saying that it could or could not have been prevented; I'm just taken aback that he would die so soon after being released. And it's a parent, so it's just one generational step away from your own mortality.

There's not a lot I want to write about this, I tend to keep my feelings to myself when dealing with this kind of a loss.
