In case you hadn’t noticed, I didn’t update Universe Today all last week. I was just in the process of working on Monday’s issue when I found out that my Grandma was very sick in the hospital, and probably wouldn’t last too much longer. I rushed back to Vancouver to see her, and she ended up passing away on Tuesday morning. She was 96, and had lived a long and happy life. I spent the rest of the week hanging out with my family, and attending the memorial – I didn’t really feel like working on the website. 🙁
Strangely, the news didn’t wait for me, so I’ve spent the weekend catching up. That’s why the next issue’s pretty big.
Thanks for all your support.
