Well after a week of wondering what my grandpa's status was. It kept going back and forth and we had no idea what was up. He passed away yesterday at about 12:15 pm or so, while I was on my way back from Long Beach. So I went home and picked up Joe and we went out the Hospital. It was oh so very sad, this was my first relative that has passed away since my Aunt, who passed awhile ago. Like I said in my other post the worst part is seeing my dad, and his siblings cry. After we all said good bye we went back to my grandma's house and hung out until like 10:30, and lots of different people showed up to offer there condolences. We were all thankful for all the people and their love. Last Tuesday when he first went out there I stood by his bed and talk to him and held his hand, and he told me to be a Fireman or a Medic because of how sharp they looked while coming into his house to get him. He also was joking around saying when you get old you don't know what parts of you work and what parts don't work anymore. He was a funny old man and he will be missed very much, he now gets to hang out with my other grandpa (who died before I was born), and check out the ladies! =P Rest In Peace Gramp's! I love you! |

But I am very sorry for your loss, i know how the whole system goes and I know the heartbreak a family feels. You have my condolences :)

bacardi | Re:, 01-09-05 5:40am Thank you so much, it really means alot to me. I think I have been slowly getting ready for this for sometime, everyone knew he wasn't in good health, and I saw him on Tuesday and thought he would pass that night but he held on till friday after his other two children could get down to see him. So I think I have been getting ready for it all week, and having hope but not letting myself think that it wasn't a possiblity.

| kaneface | Re: Re:, 01-09-05 5:28pm To cope with something this difficult in life is very hard, but the process can speed up if the tragedy is bound to happen. Your grandfather is very lucky, he led a complete and full life... watching his children and grandchildren grow up was probably the best part of his life that he could have ever encountered. A lot of people don't get the chance to experience those kind of things.
