Cat – what a beautiful post. I’m so sorry to hear about your Grandpa – Your family sounds like such joyful people, and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. My thoughts are with you during this time. I know it can’t be easy.

i wasn’t really upset with you, i hope it came across that i was only kidding… sometimes, with the written word, it’s hard to tell.

Dammit Cat… how could you go and write something like that and NOT WARN ME what it was about (like with a very appropriate ENTRY TITLE) before I started reading it!

You said in a few pages, what I could have said in few sentences… That probably why I’ve never gotten very good grades in English…

Well, all I have to say is that for the Bono lover that you are, you write right purty.
