My grandpa passed away monday morning at 5:30 frown He was the closest thing to a father I ever had or will have. He was my superman , always there for you no matter what . He fought being sick for the last 6 months and finally couldnt fight it anymore. I decided to stay with him at the hospital sunday night , the nurse got a bed set up next to his for me so I could lay next to him . I made sure I kept my hand on his chest so I could feel him breathing and I listened for each breath while I laid there. I dozed off here and there and must have woken up as soon as he stopped breathing . I kissed him good bye and called everyone back to the hospital.

I made sure he was comfortable and in no pain ...when I asked him if he needed anything earlier on sunday he told me no then after a minute called me back over and told me that yes he did need something and took his oxygen off and asked for a kiss and told me how wonderful I was and that I was his "special thing". We said all our I love yous and goodbyes and even though he will be missed more than words could ever convey I have this sense of peace about everything.


tawanise:
sweetheart I am so sorry to hear that, I am glad that you got to see him before he went, my grandma died in Feb, there was always this question in my head, will she fight or has she stopped and accepted it. keep me posted and if ya need to talk, frown smile
metaleric:
I'm so sorry. frown I lost my grandpa just a few weeks ago, so I know how you feel. I also was in the room when he took his last breaths. He was starting to suffer the last months of his life, so he's at peace now. I find comfort in that.
Hang in there.


Yeah, we'll work something out. I'm hardly ever on IM, but we'll chat sometime. Talk to ya later. kiss
