In memory
Well, I got home from work yesterday and was making dinner when my Grandma called. She told me Mike just died. Now, this is my grandma on my dads side, and she and Mike weren't technically married, but they lived together for like 14 years, and I think it's actually a law in Ky. that if you live togetehr for 12 years, you're considered married already. But anyway, I'm not real sad over this or anything cause Mike was like 87 years old. We knew he had congestives heart failure, and he also recently found out he had lung cancer... on top of already having emphsema. His doctors told him back in August that he had about 2 months left. So we had warning of this, and to me, if I live to be 80 something years old, I'll be thankful to have made it that long. Don't get me wrong, it's sad and all. This was the only man I've ever known as a Grandpa. He's often told me that I treat him much better than any of his "real" grandkids do, I thought he was awesome. He did kinda start to lose it a little but you could still talk the old Mike out of him when you seen him, so I'll really miss him.
But anyway, when the doctors told him he had only 2 months left, I had asked Dan about grievence pay or whatever and he told me that you get 3 days paid. So I called Shirley at home and asked her if it still applied to me since I only have 3 days left, and she said it did. So I went this morning after I took Mik to daycare and cleared off my desk. Was kinda weird, I expected to work all day my last day, instead my last day turned into yesterday. I'll go back Friday though to pick up my check, and then next Friday I'll have another check to get too so I'll see them all again.
That's about it for today I guess. I still have one other thing to do online and better hurry before Andy starts to twitch. ;)

I'm sorry your "almost" grandpa died. But it sounds like his final gift to you was getting you out of those last three days of work. Better crack one open tonight in his honor and say a big "Thanks!" ;)
