My grandfather passed away last week. He had been in relatively poor health over the past year, but took a worse turn a couple weeks ago and, well, that was it. His quality of life was so poor recently, and while I wouldn’t call it a silver lining, at least he’s no longer suffering. He was 83, and lived a very good life, which is about as much as you can ask for in this world.

So long, Grandpa. We’ll miss you.
