Default Sad day.

My grandfather passed away possibly later friday or earlier saturday morning. It's hitting me hard, because he was the only grandparent that cared to talk to me, and I liked to talk to him. He would never initiate conversation, I think he was depressed from when my grandmother passed away in '90. He would drive by just to see how things there, slowly. He served in the navy in WWII and was a firefighter thereafter. He cared about me more than any other grandchild, his neighbor said, because he had high hopes for me. He never got to see me graduate. :sad:

Well man he's in a better place now and at least now he's with his wife. I hope everything goes better for you and I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather.

I know how you feel. Even though I don't remember much about my gramps (he died when I was 2), my mom said that I was his favorite. He was battling cancer when I was born, and said that his only wish before he dies was to see me go to school. :wtc: A fortune teller once told my mom that he's my guardian angel, so I'm pretty stoked about that.

Sorry to hear that man, i can understand how you feel because me and my dads parents were very close, and they died last year at almost the same time, my grandmother died because of a freak accident inthe hospital, and after that, it was like my grandfather gave up, he died a few months later...

I'm the only person in the family that knew where the spare key was hidding incase he locked himself out I thought other people knew. My mom took the guns out (he had a lot of guns, they're locked up now) because people are evil and will break into houses after they see these things. I'm still sad.

I was the last person to talk to him. The last person he talked to. And everybody in my family said they're happy it happened that way, because he liked me the most. I cut his lawn for $10, but it wasn't for the money, and I knew he didn't want anybody else cutting the lawn (the neighbors offered) he wanted to have time to talk to me. My dad knew he wasn't doing well when he said he didn't want to go deer hunting this past season. My brother prepared himself, everytime he would see him he knew he was getting worse, but I guess I didn't see it. I'll be ok. The funeral is Thursday, I've never been to a funeral . I guess there's a first for everything. :sad:
