Nov. 19th, 2011 01:46 pmMy grandfather, my dad's father, died this morning. Those of you who know a little about my family will know that I'm not particularly upset or moved at all to first order.
To second order, I've been thinking a lot about my own dad, who is a great human being, and an awesome dad, despite having a horrible role model. I know he loved his father even if none of the rest of us did. I don't know what he feels about it. He's not a particularly introspective guy, so I am not at all convinced that he knows what he feels about it. I talked to him this morning and he seems okay, though. And his father was 93 and was in the hospital for septic pneumonia, so it wasn't exactly a surprise.
My Thanksgiving plans -- I was going to write, have been canceled, but in fact will probably involve a good deal of the same set of people (probably minus husbands and kids), but in a different state and planned around a funeral, if I can get tickets for anything like a reasonable price (as of today, looks like I can as long as I don't expect to fly on Wednesday).
