Hey guys. I should be at school today, but I'll give you a run down of what has just gone down..

My Grandpa. 63? In his 60's anyways. Great guy, always had lots of stories, and he had a great deal of sarcasm. he has had like, 5 strokes, and a few siezures..he has had it rough. He had bowl cancer..and just a mess of a guy. Multiple visits to a hospital, back and forth, he never once lost his sarcasm. But, he went out this morning. It may be for the better, once everyone is calm. My parents went there this morning, after the doc called my grandma, and said he wasn't doing good at all.

My Mom and Grandma were there beside him when he went, no word of a lie, 20 mins ago. I would hate to see how they are.

I thought I'd say this, he meant a lot to me, to us. I had to get some of it off, please, no thread jacking..have respect.

There is always one thing I can remember..when he was in the hospital a while back my mom was telling him, how I wanted a dirt bike, and how well I was doing finding out which one..and he said "Brad, your accident prone, remember? its all bullchit that you should be on a dirtbike.." That made me laugh, and still does to this day. When we told him we got them he just sighed, lol.

RIP Grandpa, you will be missed.

you're welcome Brad.

Thanks timmy. My Parents and Grandma have a meeting with the funeral home at 1:00. So in about half an hour they have a meeting, to try and figure everything out.

Turns out, he waited till everyone was gone to let go..

Sorry to hear that Brad, you are in our thoughts and prayers. I lost my dad a few months ago, i know it doesn't feel good. Just be strong through times like this and don't keep all your sad feelings to yourself, talk to anyone about it and you will feel alot better!
