Oh Charbie, I am so very sorry for your loss. I hope your special memories of your grandfather bring you some comfort in the days ahead. ((((hugs))))

You all are just incredible. Thank you so much for all of the kind words and thoughts as my family goes thru this.

My mom yesterday looked up one of her cousins and gave her a call to let her know since she knew no one else would think to do so. It brought her a lot of healing to be able to "do something" good in the wake of his death. Its a slow process, but just know how much all of your comments mean to me.

I just found out my maternal grandfather has brain cancer. He has always been the greatest role model, and is my first grandparent to fall gravely ill. He is about to turn 86 (born on leap year!) I''m extremely lucky to have had healthy grandparents to this point, but over the years following my parents divorce, there have been lots of strain in the relationships of both my parents with their own parents. All the issues are erased from my mind knowing he is so ill, but I''m just so sad for my mom who just wants to make things right before he passes. I already told her not to worry about a penny for any trip she may need to make to see him (he is in florida and we are in ohio) bc my husband and I are able to afford for whomever needs to visit, but I just hope she can get the closure she needs.

Sorry, I''m not really sure the point of this post. I''m just confused, and of course sad to find out how ill my grandpa is. We don''t have answers as to his prognosis, but working in healthcare myself, I''m aware this is the beginning of the end, as he has had pretty much every other major organ worked on replaced.

I''m so sorry charbie. I was in your shoes 4 years ago with my own grandfather, who passed 15 months ago. Death is difficult, and especially so when it is a central member of the family.
