The Inevitable

[bard_linn]

My grandfather (Dad’s side) has been living with Alzheimer's for several years now. Slightly over a week ago he suffered a major stroke which paralyzed his right side and robbed him of his sight.

Things have been pretty tense at home as a result. Dad’s been spending as much time as he can at the home the past week with Grandmom. Finally, however, the inevitable has occurred. He died around 6 this morning.

For most of us this is only a good thing. Pop Pop has been in a great deal of pain for years, and the damaged to his mind, he stopped being my grandfather long ago.

Rest in peace, Pop Pop. I hope you and Grandmere have fun up there.

I'm sorry for your loss dear. But I am glad he's no longer suffering. My grandmother recently died of Cerrosis of the Liver and no matter how much I miss her, I was glad to hear she was no longer suffering. ^_^

He's in a good place I'm sure and I hope you're doing ok. Loss is hard. I still cry sometimes and my grandmother died March 26 this year.

It's ok to cry. Just never forget. ^_^ I'm sure he loved you very much. *hugs* Take care dear.
