Poppa(Dad's dad) died yesterday. He'd been gently dozing in a nursing home for some years, and had Alzheimer's for a long time before that. A day or so ago he started refusing food and drink and quietly and (seemingly) peacefully died at around 10am. We (Nanna, Dad, my aunt, us three grandkids) were all there.

Please don't feel obligated to offer condolences -- we were never particularly close, mostly I just want to mark his passing, and to explain at large why I might be doing this a bit more than usual.
