I'm sorry for your loss. You were brave to give such a eulogy. I think many of us know how you feel.

My granpa, who is more like a father to me, is not dead yet. However after he went through a heart surgery, he got delirious and they diagnosed him with a difficult case of Alzheimers. Now the situation is stabilized, but he still is like a completely different person with the same sense of humour and really bad memory. I'm not sure if I should consider him dead or alive.

I hope that when his body finally fails, I'll have the courage to give a eulogy in a similar spirit.
