It´s an odd mass phenomenom, and one that has had, over the years, often extremely negative outcomes.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, odd and unconfortable as it may be, soemtimes we feel close enough to these anonymous creatures writting stuff, that we get happy or sad for them, or feel the need of sending condolences and support.<BR/><BR/>I'm a guy who lives a continent away, who doesn't even share your mother tongue, and yet your writting has affected me in some way, and I cannot help to think that I "got" something from you. And that is enough to also send you sympathies in this difficult time.Gus Casalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623081734326460781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-50137103708468947022008-05-20T14:26:00.000-05:002008-05-20T14:26:00.000-05:00Best wishes to you and your family in this difficu...Best wishes to you and your family in this difficult time.

It's quite an example of what can define a life of accomplishment, and I'd like to say thanks for sharing it with us.<BR/><BR/>I'm very, very sorry for the difficult time you and your family are going through, and I hope you can find some small comfort in the memories you built with your grandfather.Maxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748486083449206825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-47016991710320411822008-05-20T09:25:00.000-05:002008-05-20T09:25:00.000-05:00My sincere condolences are extended to you and you...My sincere condolences are extended to you and your family.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure many of your readers (myself included) are familiar with the sting of losing a beloved grandparent.<BR/><BR/>And it does seem fitting and comforting that the good man's grandson has become a well-known and respected columinst/blogger in his own right...<BR/><BR/>-Citizen ScribblerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-83594225554916647092008-05-20T08:12:00.000-05:002008-05-20T08:12:00.000-05:00Scipio, it goes without saying that you have all m...Scipio, it goes without saying that you have all my support at this time, as always.

It's also true that writers are writers because they can't help writing. <BR/><BR/>The greatest achievement of any writer is to enrich the life of someone else, and your grandfather succeeded better than most. Blogs are columns, in a way, and in a way you're contributing to your grandfather's legacy. <BR/><BR/>Best wishes to you and your family.Sea-of-Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00813600516703661200noreply@blogger.com
