Peace.

My grandfather passed away peacefully yesterday morning with much of his family at his side. We're not having a funeral, but a prayer service next week (he would have liked prayers) at the funeral home where he'll be cremated, and then in the summer, when our family can all get together, we're going to have a memorial service and celebration of his life. I am more than at peace with his passing--I am so happy for him, that he is whole again, aware again, in the arms of loved ones who have gone before.

My heart goes out to all of you who have also lost loved ones recently, and to those of you who fear you may lose one soon. I wish I could beam some of my peace to you, wherever you are, in your dark hours.
