No FKO

[billroper]

Gretchen and I won't be at FilkOntario this year. My grandmother died today -- she was 94. So we'll be heading down to southern Illinois for the funeral this weekend instead.

I'd like to say that I'd spoken to her more recently than I actually had, but I think she knew that I thought about her. I know that she thought about me.

Say hi to folks for us.

{{{{hugs}}}} I had very similar regrets and thoughts when I lost my grandmother five years ago. I think they always know we're with them and they with us, even when it's not a physical presence.

*hugs* to you both... and thank you for reminding me how important it is that I make that trip to Germany to see my own Grandmother.

I didn't hear until just tonight -- I hadn't checked your LJ in a few days. I am so sorry, my friend. Condolences to your family, and hugs to you and Gretchen both. Call if you like.

Thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts. It was a good funeral (which seems like an oxymoron, until you think about bad funerals).

I know this is late, but I'm just catching up now on various LJs.

So sorry to hear about your grandmother. :-(

Hugs,
