I think your own signature line says it all Will !
69 was way to young, but like you said during our correspondence the last few days a great number in it's own right.
Remember the good days, there's lots of laughs in there to keep you going.... and don't ever second guess the decisions that have been made the last few days.
Good luck with Grampa today, you won't have to stay a lot he'll see it in your eyes.
