I'm very sorry to hear that. Under the circumstances as you have explained them, my condolences in advance. Its great that you all got to visit for Christmas, and made it into a new year, bringing end and closure to an old year as a complete family.
You say something though that I have to ask about. You said "terminal". When I hear terminal, I think of cancer. Are you saying cancer? The reason that I ask, is that lately on the news when I hear of someone's passing, more and more I am hearing cancer at advanced ages, and find that astounding. Generally speaking, when I think of seasoned persons like your grandfathers age of 92, I think of passing naturally of old age. Its hard for me to fathom that someone makes it that far, naturally, and then comes down with cancer as I'm hearing more and more of these days. I guess that I would prefer that persons pass naturally, of old age, and have grown to expect that.
And one last thing Guru. Afterwards, you might want to take the hospice staff member off to the side and pat him or her on the back, and I mean that in the best of ways. Those people are far better than I will ever be, God love them. When a person gets to hospice, as you pointed out, its near the end. For the folks that work hospice, their patients never get better. They don't get to send their families all happy and joyful. The next patient, and the next, and the next, never go home. They never get better. In my life and line of work, as with probably most, things can get better. Hospice workers and folks that answer 9-1-1 calls? Far better people than I will ever be. God love them all because I couldn't do what they do. I don't have it. They do. One of my sisters used to work geriatrics (elderly) in the hospital that she works at, and some went home, and many never did at that advanced age. She used to come home so depressed because a lot of the patients passed away on the floor she worked on because of their age. But at least some went home to their families, unlike hospice. They have no victories, so to speak, and they face it every day. Know what I mean?

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
