He's gone
11 years ago
At 5am today my grandfather passed away, after a seven month battle with cancer.
I don’t know what else to say, I’m just numb, cold. Watching someone battle cancer once was hard, the second time around I already knew what was coming before it happened.
You are forced to watch someone you love wither away, from a strong person full of life to skin and bones. But it’s not just the body that goes, near the end their mind goes as well. For my grandfather it was quick, just days, for my father it was much longer.
The only thing I can really think right now, is that he’s not in pain anymore.

I'm so sorry, man.
So don't feel rushed or in a hurry to get past this. You too may have emotional needs similar to that of aboriginal peoples to our continent.
My condolencies to you and your beloved ones; I send you my thoughts of encouragement from Argentina to boot.
