All,


I just learned last night that my paternal grandmother had died on Sunday. She 
was 92

and died of kidney failure from a lifetime of diabetes due to obesity. It's 
amazing

she lasted so long. We weren't exactly close. She wasn't nearby to visit often 
for
most of my life and I never developed good correspondence skills. I wish I had

although we wouldn't have seen eye to eye when our world views met. Every letter
from

her was always "Jesus loves you" and "In heaven you'll be whole again". I could 
never

have made er understand my viewpoint on that. Still I wish I had stayed in 
better

touch. I wish... I wish... Just a week ago I thought of her and contimplated 
writing.

I didn't. With some erroneous belief that there'd be time I let the opportunity 
slip
by and now I regret it terribly. So I am reminding any who'll listen if there's

someone you should even just say 'hello how are ya' to, do it the very second 
you
think of it. Just do it.

James
