and life goes on

[hoveringsombrero]

my great grandfather died at 2 am
my mother's father's father.

he was less than a month shy of his 100th birthday.

i didn't know he was still alive, i don't even know his first name.

my mother tells me that they were planning a huge party for his 100th
that he was still very lucid and looking forward to it.
but he'd had a heart attack and his kidneys have been slowly shutting down since.

he just ran down.

i expect my mother's father to reach 100, at least.
that side of the family is very long lived.
they're delaying the funeral till the family reunion next month
instead of his birthday party
i think on his birthday rather.

he looked like colonel sanders.
