Thanks, guys. I really do appreciate it. My grandfather was the kind of guy who seemed to live on sheer will power alone; sick for 28 years, he outlived the doctors who told him he had a year to live back in 1976. He'd beaten the odds so many times over the years that, when he told me at his 75th birthday party that he planned on living for another 75 years, you almost had to believe it. He was going to will it to happen somehow.
Naturally, we're all human, and it was not to be. But his was a life well-lived and well-loved. Certainly it was a life to celebrate rather than mourn, one to admire, remember, and emulate. And so I shall.
