The Old

[IceDevil9]

Well, I just found out my great grandfather is probably going to die within 24 hours. I was discussing this with my grandmother and it's a bit of a double-edged sword. It's sad, of course, but I also feel kind of upset about being sad that he lived a full life (He's 94 years old), and done all he could ever have acheived. The man has owned 117 cars in his lifetime, and he's lived to see a new century. Those were pretty much his main goals, all he had to look forward to was death.

Although, he could live, but the chances are very slim, I'm truly worried about my great grandmother, I'm afraid she won't last much longer without him here.

All I ask is you pray for me.

EDIT- I just a call from my mother that he has passed.

That sucks, my grandfather is 86 years old and was just in the hospital after passing out. Theres nothing they could do for him, if he has a heart attack, thats it.

sorry to hear that frank. i know how it is i lost my uncle to cancer about a month ago its terriable u got my sympathies dude

[jd-inflames]

Like I said over AIM, I'm sorry bub

[phreakerhaxxor]

Did u know him good? I didn't know my grandfather good, since hes mexican and speaks spanish. I don't know any spanish. I'm not sure if i'd cry at his funeral or wonder why the hell im there.

Ya, I knew him pretty well, we took him + my great g-ma to Coco's every other Sunday morning. It's sad, that's how it started, he was on the little scooter and turned too quickly too fast while trying to hold open the door and fell. He had a hip surgery to fix it, and I suppose that's how he died. The sad part is, everyone at Coco's wrote a big get well card and they all signed it and now he can't enjoy it.

However, my brother passed (at 3 1/2), 6 years ago suddenly, so I suppose that's why this is easier for me.

Too bad dude...at least he WAS 94...my uncle and my grandmother's sister both died of cancer these past 2 years...tis a pity...everyone dies...

I never met even any of my grandfathers (altough, my gmas are still alive, the older one is 87 years old)... Having the honor to actually meet a great grandfather is something I don't know, but I suppose it's as awesome as you described, and I'm sorry about what happened to you

[Wing Zero]

sry bout that dude, but heres a good thing he did what he wanted to do..

My dad died when I was 7... I never met my grandparents on his side of the family and didnt know my other grandparents very well. I guess i kinda missed out on that. Your lucky you had the time that you had.

Im sorry.

My grandfather is 75, he got a bunch of medals for his accomplishments in chemistry during USSR years. He survived a car accident in which his wife died about a year ago. He is still holding up, he had an operation and he has problems with his leg and huge back pains but he is mostly alright. He still works at his summer house, painting the house, chopping wood, all that good stuff. I helped him out as much as i could this summer (my familie's summer house is like 15 feet away from his, they are in the same village outside of St.Petersburg)

Anyways IceDevil, i am sorry.

You can't stop death. So you might as well get used to it. People die.

I'm truly sorry, Frank. You sound like you were close to both your great-grandparents. He was a good man, and had a good life. But all things have to pass. 94 is a highly respected age to live until.*

[Sakuhta]

Well Frank, considering what you said that he had a lot of great accomplishments and didn't have much left to get done, I suppose he was just waiting for it to happen.

Just think about the fact that he's probably up there smiling.

My grandfather died the year I was born. My great-grandfather died 5 years ago.

[Sakuhta]

That's crazy.. my great grandfather died when I was around 6-7 I believe... And my grandfatehr just died a couple years ago.

[Kuzmich]

My other grandfather died like 7 years before i was born, he was killed by a burglar. He was going back home and someone hit him in the skull with a glass bottle, he died shortly after. Those bastards were never caught.

[Sakuhta]

Someone on the run?... or were they mugging him?... That's crazy.

[IceDevil9]

Ya thanks for the kind words all, I slept on it and I feel much better today. Well enough to get some gaming done!
