Thank you all for taking the time to comment. My grandmother took a turn for the worse and died this past week, so death and dying are heavy on my mind. She was the center of our family life. It is strange, however, that this has been the best visit that I have had with my family, since I left home. I'd like to credit my grandmother for that. -Finally
