Lost a grandparent 2nd time in 2 months

(Last time, it was the day after Thanksgiving.)

I don't make as many original posts as I used to now that I'm in school, so you won't see me as often on LBN as usual in the past. But now I'm compelled to start a new OP clearly. I just learned via an aunt that my 92-year-old paternal grandfather passed away due to a stroke he'd been suffering for a month and a half or so. He was an amazing man, and I cherished the times I got to spend with him from the time I was 3 all the way back around Christmas 2011 when I was 20. I've just got one surviving grandparent at this moment. Let me close out with one of grandpa's many paintings, this one published in a chinese art compilation

loss of your dear grandfather, alp 227. It sounds as if you loved him a lot and will miss him very much.

His rooster painting is magnificent.
