    Just got the phone call that my dad's mother passed away this evening. She just turned 80 on Christmas- but has been been failing slowly for a while.
    After a fall earlier this week she was taken taken to the hospital. They had to call the ambulance to the house again tonight. She is in a better place now.

    Not that it's unexpected- but that doesn't make it any less crappy when it happens. He is a mess-So if you can just keep him and the rest of the family in your thoughts- It'd be much appreciated.
