redwatch Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Hello all, I got unfortunate news today that my Grandfather is not doing well. He was in a car accident two weeks ago. He was T-Boned on the drivers side and broke several ribs and is really banged up. Today I got a call from my Dad that I should come home to see him and that it does not look good. His liver & kidney's are shutting down and he cannot eat or drink. My grandfather is an amazing man. 94 years old and still driving. He works volunteering at the nursing home three days a week. The nursing home that my grandmother was in until she passed away 12 years ago from Alzheimer's disease. He was the head of the Alzheimer's Society for a number of years, and all around just such a generous guy. A World War II veteran and the most generous and kind hearted person I have ever known. I will be flying home tomorrow and I pray that I get to see him before he moves on to the next life. It is here, in this place, that I say that I truly love him and will miss him dearly. May God shelter him and bring him together with my Grandmother once again, forever, in ever lasting peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlydog Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 S, The greatest gift you can give your Grandfather is the gift of your presence. Sometimes mouth closed, ears open and presence available is the best medicine a sick friend or relative can receive. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now.

KB Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 My Granddaddy, My Best Friend © Lauren E. Garner The one that is my friend, The one that is my guide. How much I love, and how much I care, Is too much to describe. You've always been my hero. You've always been me pride. You've always given so much love, And shown what’s deep inside. My heart is full of love. And my soul is all delight. You’re the one who sang me to sleep, and whispered nighty night. And everyday I pray to God, I thank him for sending you, Because you’re the one who wrote me the song, And made all my dreams come true! More prayers coming from OZ.
