My grandpa died today
Yep, he lived a long (74 years old) and great life despite his severe medical conditions. I've come to realize that death should be a time of happiness, rather than mourning. Cried for a few minutes but the rest of the day I kept myself reminded of all the happy and good times with him; that's all that matters. Now, he's up in Heaven, relaxing, and free from his suffering.
And too add, he was a Catholic, extreme lover of science (especially astronomy), extremely intelligent on just about every topic there is, and was a very computer-savy. He was just a well-rounded individual for his age
Anybody else experience a loss recently?

3 RepliesMy paternal grandfather died in 1990. Both of my maternal grandparents died more recently, with my grandmother in 2004, and my grandfather in 2010. I didn't have the greatest relationship with my mom's dad, being 17 when he died. I thought I had all the answers, and laughed off any advice he tried to give me. In June 2010, he told me that every time I see someone, I should act as if it's the last time I'll ever see them, because it could very well be. He suffered a stroke the next week, and died after being taken off of life support a month later. You only ever meet someone once. Act accordingly.
