Grandfather is dying
9 years ago
I just thought I'd give people a heads-up... My grandpa's cancer came back and we're reaching the end. He's gone from cracking jokes yesterday to nearly unresponsive today... I's been declining for a while, but it's taken a very rapid turn, and we think he could pass at any time, now. We kind of hope it's not today, since it's my grandmother's birthday... But at the same time, he's in a lot of pain and don't want him to suffer any more. I don't really need comforting or anything, I'm kind of just numb and anxious... I'm going to miss him, though.
So... If I seem more reclusive than normal, this is likely why. :P
EDIT: He passed away at 3:55 AM on July 4th

At that time; I finally saw how small my family had become.
The best thing I can tell you is to spend as much time with him as you can, and always remember anything he has taught you or told you. I can't tell you how long it will mess with you, or how long it will take for you to accept his passing... just know that no matter what, he will be with you until you get the chance to see him in the next world.
So make him proud.

Sorry to hear that *hugs*
Well, the time to pass on will inevitably come for all of us, and you can at least take some comfort in knowing that his suffering will come to an end. I hope that all involved will be able to take this as well as you can really take this kind of thing.
