If my grandfather were alive today, he would've been 117 years old. He was a great guy. He died short of his 91st birthday 25 years ago. My other grandfather would be 115 on July 4th. They both died within 2 weeks of each other. My mother was in the hospital at that time and we almost lost her too. 1983 was not a good year for my family. Unfortunately, my mother lost her battle in 1984 from heart disease and strokes at the age of 57. I also had a miscarriage that year and lost a boy. I don't know why I'm writing all of this. I guess I just have to talk about it sometime.

Sometimes these things just need to come out. We had a horrible year like that too where we just kept losing people, nine deaths in the family in about six weeks time ranging from a four month old boy to a great grandma. Some times these situations leave us a bit in shock and we deal with them in bits and peices over the years to come and if there are such things in your life this is a great place to let them out with many supportive people who are ready to listen and understand.
