Tough news...

It's damn hard to pass on bad news to teenagers. Today we had to tell 17 and 15 that their grandfather "Pop-pop" had passed away, and the reactions were mixed, but still hard to watch. Their first brush with the death of a close and much-loved relative, and neither Liz or I really sure how best to handle the delivery.

God's peace for you, Jim... with condolences and comfort for those that will miss you, especially your three beautiful grandchildren and your daughter and son. May your kindness and love stay with them until you all meet again.
