Family Emergency

[Zanthian]

I will be out of town for the next couple days and probably off the web for most of it. My Grandfather could pass away at any time and we drove down to Louisiana to see him. 13+ hours in a car with a 6 month old, not fun.

Your thoughts and prayers are Welcomed.

[RADA]

Your family is in our thoughts.

We wish you the best.

[csimon]

Louisiana? Where at in Louisiana? Sorry to hear about your grandfather. Will remember you and yours in our prayers.

Sorry Zanthian :(

[QCH]

Sad... you'll be in my prayers.

Sad news Zanthian :( but at least you have had time to know him. never met my dad's father he was dead before i was born and mums dad died when i was 6 or 7 years old. best wishes to you and your family and prayers from the UK coming at ya. Be strong for the rest of the family is best advice I can give.

Sorry Zan :( Try not to let the stress conquer you. It sounds like you'll have a lot of it thrown at you.

[chiaz]

My prayers are with you.

I've just lost my grandmother a while back, so I definitely know how you feel.

[Zuntar]

I had almost the exact same trip when my Grandfather passed. It snowed all the way back from Ohio to Virginia, my daughter was 8 months old at the time, and she had the stomach flu which started 1 hour after we left my Uncles house. Not fun would be putting it mildly.

I will pray for you and your family Zan.

[Zanthian]

Thank you every one. He is still barely holding on. He is not eating or drinking any liquid.

The good thing is that i do get to see so much of my family. I hope to still be home in time to make it to the lan.

[UPSWeezer]

My grandpa is going through the same thing right now. I cant say i know exactly how your feeling because i was never really close too him. I hope the best for you and your family.

[Zanthian]

My Grandfather passed away last night. He has gone to a better place.
I am not sure when i will make it back to Cincinnati.

[Shorty]

Z... you have to do what you have to do. You will be missed but family is always first :(

Really sorry to hear the news. It's never easy. We are with ya in spirit mate.

[QCH]

Sorry but I'm sure he's in a better place.

[Jokke]

You have my condolances, Zanthian.

[SPIKE09]

Sorry to hear that Zanthian, but he has gone to place with no pain, my dad went to that place January 2001. Take care of your family and yourself Icrontic will be here when you are ready to join in again, condolences and prayers to you and yours.

[bothered]

I can only echo what has already been said, wish I could say more.

[bullzisnipr]

As bothered said, i can only say what's already been said. I'm very sorry to hear that, i really am. I lost my grandparents when i was 10 in a car accident, and as you can imagine i was very close to them. I know what it's like, and it's not easy. I hope by some miracle something happens to further his life and ease his suffering. Anyway, be safe on your drive, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

[Zanthian]

Thank you all very much for your kind words. We have made it home safely to Cincinnati.
The funeral yesterday was very well done and a fitting close for a great man. I still plan to attend the Lan, though after so much driving this week I am not looking forward to the drive up. The reception there will make it worth while i am sure. ;)

My deepest condolences to you & your family, Z.
