Pondering Wearing A Hat
Right. It's obvious, by the way that I see his email quite often, and how flooded he is with posts.
My grandfather died last Thursday. It was expected (in fact, he held on longer than anyone expected), so I'm not entirely sure how to feel about it. He'd been in the high care dementia wing of a nursing home for over three years, and had no quality of life left. It's both sad in many ways (and had been for quite some time) and relieving in others. He was ready to go. I'm grateful I had a full set of grandparents for 20 years. Losing one is a new experience for me.
One of my sister's friends took his own life on Saturday. I didn't know him very well at all, but it still shook me perhaps just as much as my grandfather's death, and it of course definitely affected my sister far more. I guess this is because it's far more tragic, unexpected and inexplicable. I don't understand.

I'm sorry to hear that. You made an honest, heartfelt tribute to them both.

Boom, headshot.
I have an ominous feeling that today's going to be terrible - and I'm almost never wrong when I get these feelings.

My condolences as well.
I lost both of my grandfathers already, and it looks like both my grandmothers will be gone anytime, but I too am lucky in that my grandfathers passed when I was older (12 and 17), so I was old enough to understand and... learn from the experience, for lack of better wording.

There are as many guys with ponytails in my physics class (4) as there are girls/women in total (4).
Class size 41, though maybe not everyone went to class.
