Found out two people I know died, just lost my grandfather two weeks ago

[ACK]

One guy I knew indirectly through a couple of bug reports and brief tech exchanges. The other I have talked to for about two years now online.

The guy I knew indirectly was Ettore he did hacking on the Evolution mail client I used. Nobody knows how he died. Really weird.

The guy I knew directly was Chema who died during a sky diving accident.

Deal is that we exchanged emails back and forth for a couple of years.

He worked on the Ximian Setup Tools and the Ximian Desktop which I used. I sent him a question one day and we just started exchanging emails back and forth on gui design.

This is really weird only a couple weeks after grandfather died.

My son made a goodbye card to my grandfather just yesterday.

Oh god this month has been so hard. My grandparents basically raised me. I think the toughest thing I ever had to do was bury my grandfather. Now, I hear a friend and someone I respected have died.

I have cried enough it seems when my grandfather died. I just feel so numb and overwhelmed.

1. You are having tough days my friend.

You and your family have my sympathy.

2. Too many folks have died in your life

but the man who raised you died. Mourn your grandpa. Let your son mourn him.

3. I did let my son

It was really weird because my son did not really get the chance to know my grandfather very well.

Still, at school, he draws this (kind of morbid) death imagery on a card. It was all stick figures in the ground with gravestones up top. That was a bit odd. But then the writing on the inside this was a sweet goodbye.

I just wish I had a little emotion left for my friends now. I just can't muster emotion for someone I knew pretty well for two years even if it was a 'Net relationship.

I grew up in my granfather's BBQ restaurant. I worked on his farm.

I am a Democrat because of that man.

He once told me, "A Republican son don't care about no one but the rich man."

I have never seen anything in my life to make me think different.

My work ethic. My politics. My education (he paid my tuition and I had to work my way to pay for everything else)

Shit, just about everything I am was because of my grandfather...

Fuck I am just rambling..

The deaths of my friends are like running me straight back to the sadness for my grandfather.
