So... yeah.
My grandfather just died.
He'd passed out a couple weeks back. Dad brought him back with CPR, he was in the hospital overnight, came home, and everything was fine. Today, he seemed a little more tired than usual. Otherwise normal. Then he passed out. Mom tried CPR. Got a heartbeat... but I don't think he ever woke up again. They took him to the hospital, got him into the ER, and then called it about 10 minutes later.
So... Don't think I'll be going to Florida this week, after all. (We were supposed to drive down to get the apartment ready for him, and he was supposed to fly down next week.)
Not really sure what else to say just now.
Well, I can say that he had a long (100+, we believe) life. With a loving daughter and son-in-law, three grandkids, and three great-grandkids. And the dog adored him, too. And he went quietly. I mean, there was the CPR and the house full of police and rescue squad people and Mom going nuts and all that... but he wasn't awake for that part. And I think that's a good thing.
