I don't know...

I guess I was saving the 100th post on this blog for something special.

My grandfather, Dan H. Lease, passed away today. He was strong and for the most part healthy. He had a girlfriend, he loved his cars, his horses, and all things sports and ohio state. He touched many lives and was well known in our small community.
I am still in shock as I just can't believe it. And I am worried, because things in my life that have always been a constant will change. His house was always a place where you could drop by and someone was always there. The door was always unlocked. My aunts in the kitchen. Cooking and bitching. And laughing. Christmas with hot toddies. Smoking cigarettes, drinking a beer, playing Skip-bo. This man was the glue that held this all together.

So I guess I am sad for two things...the loss of my grandfather and the loss of my childhood favorite traditions. RIP, Grandfather.
