Gee Ryan - the year is not starting out great for you is it? I certainly hope that your Grandfather is fine.
It's always hard to lose people that are close to you. By the time I was your age I had lost all my Grandparents and my Father and a few friends in Vietnam. Fortunately for me - I have had a long time since then without losing anyone. It never gets easier though. You and your Grandfather will be in my thoughts.
