My condolences to Christine.

Have a safe trip to Cali.
My own gram passed this year also (Feb. 15th.) She was my last living grandparent (although her husband, my mom's stepfather is still alive.) (But ever since his own kids had children, he's been abit standoffish. Oh well.)
I will be glad to see 2010

go too,

too many operations and hospital visits made this year kinda go fast and slow at the same time.
