He has lymphoma and has already lived a lot longer than the doctors thought he would, but still it is sad...I have not gone to see him and I know this sounds awful but I don't know how I would take seeing him sick, since he was always rather strong and robust... I don't have grandparents either. My friends find this somewhat strange, since I am only 27 and haven't had them for more than 12 years...

One of the hardest parts of aging is watching those you love and remember from your youth with a particular 'magic' pass away. One thing I wonder though is if we can over-romantisize a particular period or people looking only at particular aspects of their lives and putting aside their stuggles with sin and such, different than ours perhaps, that they dealt with. For instance our current generations struggle with masses of information vs past generations ignorance and the actions that sprang from it. Great piece.
