If working helps, do that. I'm so sorry for your loss. Thanks for the AC-ma, y'all. While we couldn't avoid a costly repair, we did avoid the one that involved drilling a hole in my neighbor's place, and given that he's an Eastern European techno freak, I think you'll agree this is still a -ma VICTORY(/Drama)
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

OK, fuck wanting his library.
I just want to stop crying. I just wanna be OK for tomorrow. I can deal later, please.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Condolences, Shir.
You react any way you need to. You can deal now, you can deal later. It's all okay right now.

Oh, Shir, I wish more of us could be with you, to sit with you, studying quietly, or putting our arms around you, or talking about your grandfather, or watching silly tv shows for distraction, or whatever you need. You let us know, and we will do our best for you at the distance. And you already know we are with you in spirit.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

WindSparrow beat me to the punch, but it bears repeating, we are here for you, even if it's long distance. Do what you need to do. As for the library, can you ask your family if you can keep the bulk of it? Is there room at your folks place? Just an idea. Books are treasures. A good collection, a gold mine. I can think of no better way to keep a part of your Grandfather than preserving some/all of his library.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm so sorry Shir.
