Grandpa's in the hospital.

I am truly sorry for your loss.
I lost my grandmother right before Christmas and losing a loved one is never easy. Find strength in the memory of him and never forget who he was as a person.

Prayers for your family, and comfort for your grief.
There's an old American Indian saying about how life should be.
When you enter this world, you should cry and the world rejoice.
When you leave this world, you should rejoice and the world cry.

Hang in there Joe. I'll send you and your grandfather the waves I'll be surfing today. May it bring peace to you and your family.
Sorry for your loss, prayers and hugs for you and your family.
We lost our Grandpa two weeks ago - he lost his battle with Leukemia so we understand how much he will be missed. God Bless!

Joe, I don't know you very well, but I feel for you and yours with the loss of your Grandpa.
Remember the smiles and laughter with fondness.
God Bless, Ray

I`m sorry for your loss, Joe. I know it`s tough. I recently lost the last 3 of my remaining (blood related) grandparents within a 3 year period. Remember the good times and be strong.
Thank you all.
It's hard right now, but unfortunately more of a relief than anything. He wasn't alive enough after having the breathing tube removed to be in pain, but his state of being was not a good one. Prolly the hardest part of the entire ordeal was seeing him in the icu hooked up to all those machines. It's not the grandpa I remember, and the sight of it nearly broke me. But my mom would have as well, and she didn't need that. She's doing much better now, and so is my grandma. There's not going to be a funeral, but just a mass. Grandpa didn't want one.
It's hard, but time and good memories will heal. He led a long and eventful good life, and the thing that I will miss the most is his stories. He lived in so many different countries, and his childhood of growing up in a house with 10 kids (five from one family, five from the other) make for thousands of interesting wonderful stories.

Bummer deal. Grandpas are always so cool, and it totally sucks when we lose one. I have no living grandparents and it makes me sad when I think about it.
Do you have any photos or items of his you can keep around for the good memories? I have a knife my grandpa used when he was in the Korean War.
