My grandfather just passed away.
:cry: :(

I just got off the phone with my dad (it was his father)..I called to see if he won any money on the horse race and he told me. I guess they were going to wait until I got home from work but since I don't get home until after midnight, he just told me now.

He had a heart attack and they couldn't revive him. He's been sick off and on lately with all these different types of infections so I am sure that's what led to the attack. He was 87. He lived a good, long life.

My grandmother passed a few years ago and ever since she died, he kind of willed himself to die too. How sad. :cry:

So if you can, please send some good thoughts, vibes, hugs my way.

Thanks.

:hug:

I lost my grandmother in 2005, and that was extremely hard, she was almost 94. My grandfather died in 1994. Now they are both gone. I think about them alot, they are never out of my mind.

Hugs to you, it's hard I know. :hug:

My grandfather left us three years ago, and my grandmother has not been the same since.

Neither of our grandfathers suffered, thank goodness.
