So, I figured out today during dinner that my grandfather is probably going to be in a coma and dead around Christmas, which is only about a week away. I was never really close with him, but we talked when we could.

When I first moved down to Florida I talked with him a lot more because I took up Trombone, and he used to play Trumpet. We would talk for hours about our instruments, music, etc. Now hearing he's just going to die in about a week is like getting hit in the face by the baseball at high velocity.

My week just keeps getting better.

I don't really know you, I posted anyway.


Sorry to hear, though.

Like I said before,I am really sorry and offer my best to your family.

Sorry to hear, though. You may have seen me around a few times, and somehow..you're on my MSN list. Thanks anyway.

Sad. My Grandma was just diagnosed with lung cancer. They aren't giving her much hope. Sorry to hear about that.

My grandfather had colon cancer, and had to undergo surgery to remove it. Now it's just been too much and they've taken him off his kemo treatment. Now they can only control the pain.

Also, thank you.

Damn...I could imagine such a bad feeling. Hopefully everything turns out alright with you, man.

I wish u well

My dad just came home from the hospital

hmm... you don't know for sure when someone will die. My Grandma had a stroke and died within a day, while my Grandpa who also had a stroke lasted a few months and was stuck in a bed. Grandma was a shock, Grandpa was a bit easier cause we were expecting it. Still some people can last longer than you think they will. Just see him as much as possible for now. Not much can be done about death. You can prepare yourself a bit but not completely.

I wanted to go visit him during Thanksgiving when my dad went, but I couldn't. Now, all I can really do is keep in touch with him over the phone.

Wow, I wish you the best, hopefuly, you get a stroke of good luck.

Sorry to hear that, man. It sucks donkey's balls.

My Grandpa almost died from heart attacks three times since I have been alive(once before).

Best of luck.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate it.

I rarely respond to pity threads, mainly because 95% are bullshit excuses for attention.

However, if, infact, you're being truthful, then you have my sympathies.

Sorry to hear that. I've lost many family members and can understand your pain. It makes it even harder because it's the holidays.

My week just keeps getting better. That's awful, man. I don't know what I'd do if any of my grandparents died, especially around Christmas.

Stay strong.

I'm sorry about your grandfather. Keep faith/hope, no matter how hard it is in this stupid ass world sometimes.

Family issues are obviously a million times worse around the holiday season. I haven't gone through what you are going through, but for the last two Christmas' I've been alone. Last year, my Dad had moved away from me, so I was all by myself, and then the year before, my Dad was in Iraq, for he was in the army.

Its obviously not the same, but I know what it's like to have a shitty Christmas. If you ever need someone to talk to, please talk to me. My thoughts are with you. *hugs*

I don't think I've met you, but the same thing happened with my grandad a few years ago around this time too, so I know just what it feels like, and so I give my sympathies to you.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. All I can I say is be prepare and strong for anything. You must go on in life and continue to live and learn. Life is just but a moment in all eternity.
