I found out that my granddad (my mum's dad and last living grandparent) passed away earlier this month from bone cancer and prostrate cancer. I can't remember how old he was, but he was in his 80s, which is impressive since he was an alcoholic and chain smoker all his life and didn't die of lung cancer or liver disease. He did have COPD, though, by this point. But yeah, my granny (my mum's mum) died in 2020 and I never got a chance to see her one last time since I'm in the US, but I did get to see my granddad last year when I went back to the UK for my sister's wedding.

Yeah, my step-grandmother had died from cancer a few months prior to my visit back to the UK just before my uncle died (he had ill health his whole life due to diabetes, had both his kidneys and pancreas transplanted years ago, and from what I understand the transplanted organs were failing.)My Amazon Author page: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B0719RS8BKComment
