when it rains, it pours...

my grandpa is going into hospice care. the doctors say he doesn't have very long left...he's been battling multiple myeloma for nearly two years now...

my sister and i are going to drive down to south carolina to see him next weekend, as long as i can get off from work. i should be able to. considering the circumstances and all.

my grandfather is a jazz musician. if you can find recordings of the galvenized jazz band or albert burbank's "burgundy street blues", do so. my grandfather played with the GJB for quite some time, and played bass on the latter recording. he's an incredibly talented musician and the closest thing to a saint on this earth. and i don't know how i'm going to handle this at all...
