I miss you already.

I was debating on whether or not to post this, but I consider ALL of you guys my friends, even pedo Tigger and a-hole Trip. My father called me a few hours ago and gave me the news that my grandpa died today. It really hurts to type right now. I'm not good with sadness or anger so I tend to display them wrong. I hate to cry but typing this is helping me to let it out. I knew this day would come but I was hoping he and I would be older, but that is selfish of me to say since he lived most of his life with diabetes and several heart attacks and bypasses. He was a good man and laughed all the time. He was the grandpa I was around the most; I grew up most of my life around him and grandma. He had a heart attack earlier this year and the docs couldn't do anything to help him that time. He's add so many stints and he's exceeded amount of bypasses I believe. They said it would just have to be medication from now on.

I really don't know what grandma is going to do now. Being alone at home and not having her husband in bed next to her. I don't know what it feels like to lose someone that close, but it hurts just to think about it. I don't live in the same city as they do anymore. I was there this weekend. My father and I had dinner with them and he was just fine. Acted like his usual self with no worries at all. My grandma has seen him at his worse every time, but if she wasn't there, then he may have been gone a long time ago.

I'm leaving tomorrow and don't know when I'll be back. This is part of life, but this is the part that hurts the most.

TommyHotWheel · 08-09-2010, 10:34 PM

Been there, let your feelings flow and remember the great times. My prayers are with ya brother.

My grandma and dad got to say goodbye. Dad said grandma is doing better than he thought she would. Getting to say goodbye probably helps.

Really sorry to hear it, man.

Celebrate his life.

I'm really sorry man... all of my grand parents were gone by the time I was 12 and we weren't very close. I don't really know how you feel but I hope that you can reflect and focus on the positive aspects of your time together... you were very lucky to have had him this long and to have been able to see him one last time before he passed away was a great gift that you were given. Cherish it always.

BTW if you run into any cute underage cousins, get some numbers for a brother...you knew I wasn't letting that pedo comment slide....

Take care of yourself and remember that it's alright to grieve bro, don't bottle it in. He deserves your tears and your smiles.
