  My grandfather will be dying very soon. This news hurts me worst in how it is affecting my mother, who had a very good, strong relationship with him - her father. I love him, but it's nothing close to the bond they held since she was a child. No one in my life is more special than my mother, and to see her go through this is the worst.

  
  Sorry to hear mate, all you can do is be a rock for your mother and work through it together

  Sorry, but Johyn Glenn was never on the Moon. He was, however, the first american to go round the Earth. Which, even if he was not the first american in space (Alan Sheppard and Virgil Grissom had beaten him to that) was still a remarkable achievement.

  RIP John Glenn, who I think was the oldest astronaut.

  Keith Emerson shot himself in the head for some reason, earlier this year. With Lake passing today, only drummer Carl Palmer remains from the famous rock trio.
  Suddenly I have hankering to listen to Brain Salad Surgery, or just buy the album, once and for all.
  I don't actually own any ELP but I always liked their sound.

  Ah, my mistake. I always thought he was and didn't research it properly. Still a big achievement though.

  And here, we lost a part of my childhood : Jean-Claude Deret, creator of the TV series "Thierry la Fronde", where he played the villainous Florent, and also father of french actress Zabou Breitman, who passed away aged 95.
