Life

My grandpa died today. I think far more people will mourn him than he would ever have been willing to admit.

I thought about saying lots of nice things. I could, you know; he did lots of nice things. He really was kind and compassionate and humble and funny and all the things people say at funerals and memorial services. But in the end, they're just words. I, and everyone else who knew him knew what he was like, and how much we'll miss him.

Right, then. See you later, Grandpa.
