Well, my gramp's is passing. - General

Record his voice... I hate losing someone's memory of their voice... :(

Rest In Peace.

Sorry to hear that OP, I lost my best friend in september. Hopefully he goes easily.

I just lost all my Great Grandparents a few months ago, along with a few close friends. I feel for you man, but you shouldn't mourn the loss of a family member, rather embrace it, for they're moving on to a better place.

I lost mine a year ago in a very similar Manner. I'm so sorry, I hope It goes as well as it can. I was one of his pallbearers. I spoke at the funeral, I remember everything. If you really loved him, make the effort. Good luck, and even if you don't believe in god, may he be with you.

My grandma kinda predicted her exact death date. She was all healthy and walking and suddenly she said "Am I in my grave yet?" A day later, she died from old age and various causes. Exactly a month after my grandfather, too.

Get a notepad, and ask him to tell you all his stories, than write them down. That way, you will have his storys there for you to read anytime you want.

My grandfather died long long ago, he was in the SS :razz: That nazi son of a bitch.

Okay this is terrible and all, and I'm sorry for your loss, but... Well my gramp is is passing. FUCK I had to do it sorry.

Just don't be a cunt like I was. My grandfather (Polish WW2 veteran) passed away in 2003, and I never really got to say "goodbye" to him the last time I ever saw him. In fact, the day he died was the day I was going to the hospital to visit him to say the final goodbye. I've had to live with this thought in my head for a while and it does irritate me alot. Never talked with him much unfortunately, and I'm sure he had amazing stories to tell me.

Just be happy he is going peacefully surrounded by people who love him and that you have gotten the chance to say good bye. I never got the chance to say farewell to my mom, and it tears me up every time i think about it.

Sucks bro, I don't know what I'm going to do when my gramps passes away :frown:

I don't meant to be cold or evil or anything, but this is against the rules of facepunch "no blogs".

people die you'll get over it

[QUOTE=Richard Simmons;26148099]Sounds like your gramps is getting shafted. Everyone knows its a stairway to heaven :smug: [sp]Its not handicap accessible[/sp][/QUOTE] Richard Simmons, you were funny, but now all you do is go around the forums trolling. I hate you now.

[QUOTE=ScoutKing;26148292]I was in 2nd peroid today, and I got a text message saying my grandmother died... so... yeah I feel for you.[/QUOTE] Wow who sent you that? That's like the worst way and time to tell someone that.

It really sucks losing someone you love, but people always die, it's been happening for years and it's weird how people can bottle it away and deal with it :frown:

[QUOTE=PeanutTHENINJA;26148026]you made me do it[/QUOTE] He made me do it too. Looks like someone wasn't too happy about it [img]http://i1194.photobucket.com/albums/aa372/youngvlondon/bawwwww.png[/img]

I think my grandpa is gonna die soon too, although I really don't want to see him much in his final days, and I don't want to go to the funeral either. I don't mean that in a disrespective way... it's just not that way I want to remember and honour him. It's just like my grandma, we went to see her a lot in her final days, and the funeral was really fucking sad, so now when I think of my grandma all I can think about is seeing her looking really ill and thinking about the funeral. When my grandpa is dead I don't want to remember him in that way, I want to remember how he was during the good times we had when I was young.

[quote]I wasn't really close to my gramps[/quote] You've got a chance to change that now, my biggest regret in my life so far is not spending more time with my gramps before he passed, and I could of.

My grandad is around 60 and he's got severe lung cancer all through his body. You don't see me making a thread about it.

[QUOTE=Empty_Shadow;26154446]My grandad is around 60 and he's got severe lung cancer all through his body. You don't see me making a thread about it.[/QUOTE] Lung cancer all through his body, whaaaaaaaat?

[QUOTE=Empty_Shadow;26154446]My grandad is around 60 and he's got severe lung cancer all through his body. You don't see me making a thread about it.[/QUOTE] How many lungs does he have?

Bits of the tumors break off and travel throughout the bloodstream, then develope elsewhere. The original cancer was in his lungs.

I'm kinda sad I won't get to meet your grandpa. A tank driver during Vietnam? He probably had to be one badass dude to do that.

I'm sorry for saying that but for god sake, dont post that kind of stuff in Facepunch. People will just shitpost, troll about it or do other crap. It's sad, but Facepunch is not the right place.

I wished i talked to my grandad more before he died from illness. He was a Polish war veteran, got shot twice...makes me sad that i find it hard to speak polish because i was born and raised in England :smith: Now i think my Grandma is going to pass as well.

Try to think positive, then it maybe be better faster.

My gramps died back in 01. Very patriotic man, taught me how to play baseball and would light fireworks with me on the 4th of July. He served in WWII in the pacific. I always asked about his war stories believing they would be like action movies (I was a stupid 10-11 year old). He kept telling me I was too young. Just last year I asked my dad about some of the things he experienced during the war. That was some horrible shit I heard and it shocked me that someone could experience all that crap and be as awesome as he was.

I hate it when people say I'm 'too young' to hear some of their stories. And then they decide to leave.
