I was typing a comment at a friend's blog about what a perfect day I'd been having. I hit the final period and was about to poke the "Submit" button when the phone rang.
"Tam, it's for you," said my roomie, "it sounds like your sister..."
I'd asked for a call as soon as my grandpa's situation changed. And that's what the call was. And it wasn't a happy call.
Not much blogging today, folks; I'm waiting for one more phone call. :(

There is absolutely nothing anyone can say or do to make times like this any easier so I wont even try .
Just know Tam that your readers who have been there will be thinking about you today and in the days to come . Take care of family and use the blog or whatever means to vent as needed .
All the best from me and mine
My thoughts and prayers are with you today and all days. God hold your grandfather in the hollow of his hand.
Thoughts and prayers, Miss Tam.

I'll second farm.dad. . .
Stay strong and keep the family close. . . .
One day at a time.
I'm sorry, Tam. I wish I could do something.
It's at times like this that I sometimes wish I could believe in a god, so I'd have something to say that didn't sound hollow.
Just remember that you love him, and why, and hug somebody.
You're in my thoughts, hon.
Good thoughts and prayers for you and yours, Tam.
Kevin and farm.dad beat me to it.
Just remember the good times.
Real sorry to hear that. It's always tough. Take care.

All I can do is add to the list.... and that's of little value.
So far in life I have lost most all the family I started with... and it was never good. The past... passes.... and takes those we love with it, till one day we pass along too.
Keep him in your thoughts and memories... and we'll keep you in ours.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I got the worst kind of call about my Grandfather very early Saturday morning.
Can't say it any better than's been said. Vaya con dios.

I'm sorry to hear that, Tam.
Look in a mirror. How much of what you see is him? How much of what's inside?
You have a lot of friends Ma'am, and we would all take part of the burden if we could. Be safe.
Sorry to hear that, my sincerest condolences.
I'm sorry.
God bless.
Thinking of you, honey.
Any words are inadequate. All we can do is treasure every moment we spend with our loved ones, and be glad they had every single day with which we were blessed.
In your hour of grief, remember that your loved one knew you, and loved you.
Sorry, Tam.
The Hopi Indian believe that Death is not the end of Life; it's what makes us complete.
My prayers and thoughts are with you.
Tam, I spent a lot of time around the fire this weekend. The was the first Labor Day without my father, and we spent much time around campfires together. The good memories came back as the stars came out, the air cooled, and the smoke whisped through the changing leaves of an old sycamore tree.
Dad didn't seem to be far away at all. May those good memories substain and comfort you through this time of grief and beyond.
God bless and keep you and your grandfather, Tam.
Tam,
You and yours have my support and best wishes, for what it is worth.
Times like this, I wish I could wave a magic wand and make things better.
Best wishes
Sorry to hear it, Tam. I'd hoped there would be a happier outcome. Take care.
Best wishes for you and yours.
You'll be in my prayers.
You're in my thoughts, Tam.
My prayers & good wishes are with you.
My thoughts are with you as well.
Aw, geez.
Backpats.
Farmdad +1more
We're all here if/when you need us.
Our thoughts are with you.
Kerry and Barb
I'm sorry to hear it. I hope all your memories of him are good.
Wishing you the best.
Sorry to hear that, Tam...... and ditto what farmdad said......
Share the Joys and divide the Sorrows with your family....
My best to you. Sorry.
Been through three of those calls myself, my grandparents and father.
Nothing about this will ever be easy, but it does get better.
Kind regards. Hang in there.
What shitty news. Sorry to hear it of course. Wish there was something I could say or do, but know from experience that even the best words of condolence don't mean much right now. Hope the thought alone does though in some small way.
My grandfather has been gone 20 years last month and my dad 10 years next month. Still remember both calls vividly.
My thoughts are of you and your family.
I don't know what to do other than offer a prayer.
I don't know if you or he believe, but I'll send it up.
It is all I know how to do.
Ugh. Best wishes.
You're in our thoughts and prayers.
We're sorry for your troubles, Sis. Though all such offers ring hollow at times like these, please let us know if there's anything we can do or offer. Meanwhile, you have our prayers and best wishes.
JPG and Holly
Hope things have improved. On the road and thinking good thoughts.
Sorry to hear it, Tam. Best wishes for you & yours.
