And I love being in conversation in this way. I had great plans to leave a comment but I'm really struggling with intelligent, coherant thought lately. But eventually, I will be able to leave one. @Rebecca – Thanks for your support – it means a lot.

Your post got me thinking and I ended up writing a whole entry in response on my own blog (referenced above as "The Life In Your Years"). Since the link isn't working and I wasn't sure if you have my website, I thought I'd add it separately in case you wanted to visit and read through: <a href="http://www.thewriterbee.com/2008/08/13/the-life-in-your-years/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thewriterbee.com/2008/08/13/the-life-in-your-years/</a>. See you soon - you & your grandfather are in my thoughts & prayers. Hi sweets.

You can only live each day one at a time. What a horrible cliche, but I think if you think too far out it becomes overwhelming. Wishing you and your family the best. Hi Dorie.

Thanks. I needed it. It also makes me think of the career advice my grandmother gave me post-college that was one part joke and one part serious: "Honeychild, you can do whatever you want to do - it doesn't matter. Cause I'll be dead." There was something about the matter of fact statement of death that made my own period of transition somewhat more bearable. @Norcross – Your grandfather’s gem from last week made me laugh for the first time in a week.

My grandfather, who I've always had a great relationship with, has 3 different cancers and failing kidneys. He makes jokes about things, such as last week's gem, "I don't really care that it has a lifetime warranty, since I don't have much of a lifetime left". It really comes down to what the old life was all about, and if need be, what the new one should be. I am in the process of watching my grandparents (3 of them) all in various stages of “the end”.
