My mother came in here this morning and told me that she'd just gotten a phone call - my grandfather passed away last night.
It was... really kind of inevitable. He's very old and he's been sick for a long time; mom's been going to see him in the hospital every night. The nurse told her recently that he probably wouldn't last the week.
It's just... now.
I'm not sure what I should feel about this. My mother's family was so big, I didn't even know him very well - he had to divide his attention between a ton of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. But... yeah.
I gave my mom a hug and she cried. I feel sad for her... I wish I'd known him better, though. It seems like I should be feeling more than I do.

...i barely knew him, so i didn't react with crying and stuff. i was just really quiet for a while. don't worry about not feeling "enough". everybody shows their sadness in different magnitudes.
