Why I've been remiss

This time I have a good reason for not posting for a while.

My grandmother had a heart attack this past Wednesday and has been in the ICU since then. Yes, this is the grandmother who insists that she will be going to India to find a nice Indian girl and arrange my wedding for me.

The circumstances all fit into place. My grandfather fell and fractured his hip, so she was in the hospital when the heart attack took place and could be immediately attended to. My mother was unable to go to South Africa with my dad and brother for two weeks, so she was in the US and could travel to Toronto. My grandparents were planning to come to my brother's graduation, but they stayed in Canada because of my grandfather's hip fracture ... being Canadian, they do not have and have no need for additional health insurance except for their travel insurance and God only knows what sort of care they would receive if they were in the market-driven US.

I'll gladly accept all prayers, well-wishes, and good vibes you can offer her.

Thanks

So sorry. I hope both grandparents recover swiftly.

Hey Justin, haven't heard from you in a while. I know you've been busy with boards. Hope the test went well.

Sorry to hear about your grandparents. I hope they are all right.

In case you haven't heard, I will be in Columbus (finally) from June 9-14. See ya.
