Times like these, they're rough, but they can bring a family together. And they can bring back some really great memories.<BR/><BR/>My grandmother died around this time two years ago. I wasn't particularly close to her, but random memories stick out to me. And when we all traveled up to WV for her funeral, we had a good time reminiscing about times with her.<BR/><BR/>You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.EPhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08600424792398230829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-27675551032358844132008-10-15T17:33:00.000-04:002008-10-15T17:33:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry to read about your grandfather.

I'm sure, despite the fact you didn't have the best relationship with your grandfather, it is difficult to see your parents in pain. Loss, when it's not on our own terms, is sometimes hard to swallow. You did the right thing - going to see your family. Continue to seek their support until you feel right again. My thoughts are with you.Nilsa S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11960351638623857751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861465309609418332.post-75072445095905551962008-10-13T22:59:00.000-04:002008-10-13T22:59:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry :(<BR/><BR/>I lost my grandfather to Parkinson's and my grandma to Alzheimer's within two years.

And as you&#39;ve said before - you did inherit your stubbornness from him, so he&#39;ll certainly always be with you in that sense.<BR/><BR/>I really am truly sorry you lost him - and beyond that, that you had to go see him at the hospice that way, and that it was so terrible. I can&#39;t imagine being able to handle something like that and I honestly dread the day that I&#39;m forced to. Channel his stubbornness and toughness now that he&#39;s gone, and use it to remember him for everything that he was and all the moments you shared with him throughout your life.<BR/><BR/>I&#39;m here anytime you need anything - if it&#39;s needing to talk about this or him or anything, or if you don&#39;t want to talk about this at all and just want to get away and get your mind off things, I&#39;m good for that too.<BR/><BR/>You know I love you and you and your entire family will definitely be in my thoughts and prayers this week.<BR/><BR/>&lt;3Colurehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10497157983971136403noreply@blogger.com
