My grandfather died Thursday night |
|
Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 09:35 AM by Nikia
I am leaving for the funeral today. His death was unexpected to me although he had been in the hospital with heart problems for a week. He was 71 and my first grandparent to die. He and my grandmother had celebrated their 50th anniversary this past fall and served as a good example for a successful marriage and family life. He and my other grandparents had a big part in my childhood and served as good role models at a time when my parents did not. As I have gotten older, I came to accept that I wouldn't have my grandparents forever, but it hurts to lose him anyway. I live a significant distance away from them and don't get to see them often. I did get over there for Easter and I am glad of that. We say good bye and fully expect to see each other again, but such is life.

I'm sorry to hear of the death of your grandfather. It sounds like he meant so much to you. When someone like that passes on, it seems like a part of you is gone as well.
:hug:

I know how dear grandparents can be. Mine are all gone now (I'm over 50), but I spent wonderful times with them, especially my maternal grandfather whom I adore and miss to this day.

8. Oh no....... I had to deal with that six weeks ago. |

My grandpa died on April 29, so I have an idea of what it's like, though I obviously don't know what it's like exactly for you.
Know that I have you in your thoughts and prayers. :hug:

It's so hard to lose a cherished grandparent (all of mine are long gone). I hope all of the good memories you have will make you smile.
Peace.

I just lost my mother a couple of months ago. I know what it's like to lose someone you love. Take care of yourself.
