<UPDATES>
Hey peeps.

So the ceremony was on Tuesday. It was a beautiful service--one that my grand dad would be proud of. I spent late Sunday night and all of Monday putting together a slideshow movie using "PROSHOW-GOLD" (pretty cool program). It was 12 minutes long, and looped throughout the whole service. What i did was kind of speak as if it was him, talking to the audience, so it was like he was the narrator, telling the story of the pictures used in the movie.

I was pretty sure it would barely be looked at, but as it turns out, everyone not only saw it, they were deeply moved. Thing is, while i was working on it, there were portions (especially the ending), that would always tighten my stomach---u know, that "Not misty eyed but really moved" feeling. But seeing it at the service, with all my family, watching them in tears, my eyes welled. It was hard not to. I'm just glad it was not only appreciated, it was greatly admired.

So now, life goes on. My mom, as always, is being her strong self. My grandma, is adjusting.

My grand dad was a strong, but incredibly funny guy. He's gone, but when i think of him, I always smile. And that, to me, means the world----

And thank you so much for all the comments and notes, guys

So.....as some of you kno and most of you don't, my grand-dad has been sick for quite some time. He had 4 strokes in the last 2 years, was diagnosed with colon cancer last December, and as of 3 weeks ago, the cancer spread to his heart---(I'm told that's incredibly rare).

Tuesday morning, his body finally gave. He was 74. Now I'm just doing what i can for my mom, and grand mom in particular before the service on Tuesday.

Anyway, I hope everyone else is doin' good. Thanks to the new watchers and favs. And special thanks to for his support.
