    Tripp, I lost my Dad to lung cancer a few years back. My thoughts are with you and yours.

    Re: Thanks, Dad

    At approximately 2:25 a.m. on the west coast, my grandfather/dad took his last breaths, surrounded by family members at his home.
    I wanted to thank everyone who either responded on this thread, by private e-mail, or who didn't respond at all and instead decided to let a few important loved ones know just how important they are to them.
    Life is to be cherished.
    Thanks, all.

    Now the hard part begins.

    So sorry to read the bad news, Tripp.

    But if your initial posts on this thread are any indication, your grandfather passed on knowing how much his grandson loved, admired and appreciated him.

    I am so sorry for your loss, but glad that your grandfather isn't in any more pain. I'll respect your privacy at this time, Tripp, but let's plan to talk in the very near future, OK?
