    My grandfather's been given less than 2 weeks to live

    I hate threads like this but need a place to release my anger/grief whatever you want to call it but my grandfather is severely ill and been told he has less than two weeks to live. He's set to be 91 on November 28 and has lived a great life etc. Of course he was a special part of my life as when I was younger we'd go to his house almost every Thursday to visit with my cousins. Also his place was the meeting place for birthdays, Christmas etc. As much as would love to see him continue to live there's also a part of me that doesn't because of the fear of when it will happen. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to see him again as he's now in Florida because he's a snow bird but did talk to him on Sunday.

    WOW! I'm very sorry to hear about your grandfather, Brian. I will keep him and your family in my prayers. 91 years old is a damn nice age! He's lived a godo life. I just hope he doesn't suffer. He's going to a better place, remember that.


    But for the grace of God go I
    I must've been born a lucky guy
    Heaven only knows how I've been blessed
    With the gift of you love
    And I look around and all I see
    Is your happiness embracing me
    Oh Lord I'd be lost
    But for the grace of God

    Sorry to hear.

    After just going through this it's not easy. You and you're family are in my thoughts

    "Whoever did this obviously did not know about the people of Boston. Because nothing these terrorists do is gonna shake them. ... A city that withstood an 86-year-losing streak. A city that made it through the Big Dig - a construction project that backed up traffic for 16 years. I mean, there are commuters just getting home now."

    Very sad Jokeman.

    I am getting sad thinking of my living grandparents who are 86 and 83. They are still very with it but I know they won't be around for too much longer...

    Re: My grandfather's been given less than 2 weeks to live

    I know what you mean Jokeman... Sucks a lot. As far as grandparents that matter to me, the only one I really have left is my great-grandmother. She's also the one that serves as the gathering spot for all family festivities and once she goes, that'll all fall apart I'm sure. She's faced a litany of health issues in the past 2 years too. My thoughts are with you and I hope it goes as smoothly as possible for all involved.

    Truer words couldn't be spoken. One of my largest regrets is not spending more time with my grandmother before I moved.

    Re: My grandfather's been given less than 2 weeks to live

    Im so greatful I was able to spend my grandfathers last few days with him everyday. I have no regrets about that. And I can honestly saying being with him at the end has made me a better person... the other side to that though, is I miss him greatly. I went through his house last night to collect somethings and lost it a bunch of times, the holiday season is going to be really tough.

    Sorry to hear this. I lost all of mine a long time ago, but they meant a lot to me.
    to you and your family.
