She was 92 and had the best decade of her life before she went. She'd started declining in recent months and, well, it was pretty much time.
I know the feeling. My granddad was the most smart wise man I've ever know. He was a pioneer in education, and was the founder of the first public school in the state of Zulia. A man of letters, a true scholar who's pursuit of education led to generations of people learning how to read and write, on a region ridden with illiterateness.
As I said, THE most smart and wisest man I've ever known. And yet, by the age of 91 he was heavy with senile dementia, and couldn't even remember his own name =(
When he was getting older, he always challenged us with mathematical, or grammatical exercises, "to test our knowledge" he claimed, but I knew deep down the real reason was "to prove to himself he could still speak coherently"
By the time he died at the advanced age of 96, I was sad about it, but at the same time relieved. I knew just how much it must have pained him to see his own intelligence and sanity slip away from him, as senile dementia settled in. =( really a sad sight to see this Master Professor being unable to figure out how much 2+2 was.
So yes, we all have our time where its best to just let go.
My condolences for your grandma Milayu.

I know it is easy to conjecture about things so far away, but I wonder which would be worse: the body failing or the mind.
the mind. No doubt about it, the mind.
Do you want to imagine what it would feel like, that one day, you try to read and suddenly you don't remember how? that you talk to someone and suddenly you don't remember what were you talking about, how u got there, or who is this person in front of you? to try and eat your food only to see that you don't remember how to use a fork?
That must be a living hell. The more knowledge you have, the more horrible it is to see it being snatched away from you, without you being able to do anything about it. Its just............... ugh :S so horrible.
It broke my heart to see my granddad on that state, and its why I choose to remember the great wise man he was on his prime, rather than the shriveled shell of his former self he was during his last days. where he wasn't able to say anything coherent, and was incapable of performing even the most mundane tasks such as opening a door.

>.> how I wish there was an active nice SWTOR community to talk about the game..........
The SWTOR section on MMOchamp is full of obnoxious users, the official forums are (like EVERY official forum for EVERY SINGLE MMO out there) a QQ/whine/troll fest that is actually hazardous to your health, and Torhead has very VERY little traffic. There just isn't enough people using it.

Yeah, there are still alot of bugs on that game, it's new, just like world of warcraft started, also, they need to update the graphics, i don't like how the gear looks like.

:S u can say that again. have you SEEN those PVE/PVP sets? yuck.
Thank goodness that just like wow has transmog for those fugly tiers and/or pvp gear, SWTOR has an alternative too.
Social Gear. Statless gear that looks great. When you get an armor above a certain quality, you can generally rip the stats off that armor and then place them on the Social Armor sets that are available in the game.
Such as Leia's Slave costume, or an Imperial Moff Uniform, or even a Clone Trooper armor, the sky is the limit. Its kinda odd that the lower level gear looks so much better than the high-end stuff. But since you can traspass the stats of those high-end armor to these lowbie items, that's not so bad.
As for the graphics, I dunno man, they sorta look better than wow (At least in models, and scenery, spell effects do look kinda lame)
My beef is that the engine is really glitchy, and you can get textures suddenly going blurry, or worst, flatout disappearing altogether forcing you to relog to fix the issue. Thank god those glitches aren't THAT often.

I like the Sith Assasin PvP set, it looks cool for me.

In model they are better, but i mean the graphics ON the gear.

Yeah, some of them aren't all the time, but when i saw my brother playing with it's pet, every time he teleports anywhere, the pet dies, no matter what you do, it just dies.
Edit
I'm going to sleep guys, talk to you guys tomorrow.

Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Holy Diver
Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away-get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel
Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen
Repeat verse 1

Back from IRL grinding (ie a gym session). Time for FF7 grinding.
Anyone know a good place to level limit breaks?

So, since people have started telling stories about their grandparents, might aswell share mine.
I didn't know my grandpa very well. Infact, we rarely visited their house, and when I was very young (like 10 or so), he got into the nursing home. He couldn't remember who we were, my brothers and I. I could see the tears in my father's eyes that he held back for our sake, as he again and again had to introduce us to the same person.
He was 93 when he died. No life threatening illnesses, his time had just come.
