nigel99 151 #1 December 9, 2010 Just got off the phone to my dad. My grandfather is in critical condition and unlikely to live much longer. There aren't many people in my life who I care for as deeply as my grandfather. I have been trying to stay in touch and visit as often as I could as I know that at 90 every day is a blessing. I am really pissed that I am 5000 miles away on a business trip and only get back on Monday I really thought I was prepared for this coming through - but it still feels like shit.Experienced jumper - someone who has made mistakes more often than I have and lived.
