Good on you for having such a gem of a granny.  I only remember my granny Shannon, and a right auld bitch she was and all.

I hope that she holds out for as long as possible so that you guys can have many more fun times!

And yes, I was going to say the same thing about your daughter Smile

I was going to make the same comment as Steel about your daughter looking like her grandmother.

You are very lucky to have such a strong woman as your grandmother. My grandmother was a major influence in my life and I still miss her.

If your Grams is up to it, be sure to write down or record any of the favorite stories that she told you. My grandmother was a master at telling stories. She could make a walk to the mailbox sound exciting. Unfortunately, I never wrote down or recorded anything she said because I imagined she would live forever.

She must have a pretty remarkable family for supporting her decision to leave life on her own terms.

I wanted to wait awhile before bumping this thread since its such a downer lol, but I just wanted to thank everyone for your kind words and for sharing your stories. You guys are the best. Dealing with this as an atheist, it's nice to have a place like this with people like you, where I can express how I feel without people wondering why I haven't appealed to a higher power or a "better place". Love you guys.

Thought you'd like that bit, Alex. You damn Nazi! Big Grin
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."

Beard? Check.
Dusky? Check.
Eyes? Check.

Watch out Exian.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Yeah that's me. Well, thats mostly me. Some of that forehead must belong to someone else. That's too much forehead to belong to one person.

I was 21 when we had her. I'm 30 now. I've been hearing that for my entire fatherhood. I looked 14 at 21. I can't seem to catch up. I have a few pictures I might post of her and I when she was first born.
