Spoke with Grandpa on the phone today... well, it was rather a monologue, but I was told that his facial expressions indicated he heard everything I said.

It was much harder than I thought it would be, saying goodbye.

I told him that I loved him, that I thanked him for making a difference in my life, that we would be okay, and to go with my love.

A final "I love you, Grandpa" and he drifted off to sleep.

I need to finish this paper so I can fly up there.

Back to work.

As in, your dissertation? How close are you to getting your degree?

Could you petition your advisors for an extension due to family crisis or berevement?
