At 2:30 AM (EST) today, my grandfather passed into the black; taken by Stage 4 Lung Cancer. I've just gotten back home from visiting grandma and spending the majority of the day with her and family, and am emotionally and physically exhausted. So much so, that I feel that even being at the helm won't comfort me. [sad] I've come here not for sympathy, nor even recognition, just to make a small request to Frontier; a plea rather.
My grandfather was by far one of the greatest men I've had the pleasure of knowing. He was an avid fisherman, a great family man, having raised five children, and had an absolute heart of gold. As an avid fisher, he always had to find himself near a body of water constantly and he had always said he wanted to die near the water, and well, he got his wish. For the last fifteen years, he and my grandmother have lived a block away from the water's edge of a lake, and every other day he'd be down on the water trying to catch something. I mean, this man LOVED to fish, and help to instill that love into my mother, who then passed it down to me. He also LOVED coffee. A pot and then some everyday. Again, that love trickled down and found it's way to me and now I bear the torch of a pot and more of coffee a day.
The request I have, is to form a CG in memoriam to him. His name is Walter, and there happens to be a large starport in the Gyvatices system named Walter Dock, which just so happens to have fish and coffee in the market. I could not think of a more befitting way to remember him than to deliver or buy coffee and fish at that station. Please Frontier; I know it's a lot to ask, especially at this time with 2.2 coming out soon, but I humbly ask if you could do this. It would mean the world to me, because right now, I miss him. [cry]
Sincerely,
A very sad W4LD0
