thanks brotha. Im just really sad because sometimes im kinda mean to him because he doesnt listen to anyone. but he has had a great life, he was mayor of his town, state assembly man, World War 2 vet, he;s the greatest man i know. I would trade my life for his in a heartbeat.

Don't be mean to him, bro.

He's earned his respect and you should treat him with reverence. He's a veteran, you should defer to him and put up with things you wouldn't from other people. He's your grandfather.....he's the last connection you have to the past....value your time with him.

I am the same way towards my grandpa. Just yesterday I was talking with my shrink who's helping me with substance abuse, anxiety, etc about how I don't really feel any connection towards my parents. I just feel like if they told me I was adopted, I wouldn't be surprised. Then when I told him that my mom divorced my real dad when I was 1 and we lived with my grandparents until I was 4, he said those years are when a child develops the connection with parental figures. So since my mom was out working all the time and I spent most of those years with my grandparents, It explains why I feel more of a connection with them as opposed to my mom and my Stepfather (not really stepfather as he went through the legal process of adopting me where his name is on my birth certificate and everything and I've never met my real father.)

Good luck man, Hopefully he'll die with dignity. Seeing my grandma slowly die from cancer was truly heartbreaking and I'd never wish that on anyone.

I know the feeling man,my grandfather is the exact same,helped me so much as a kid when my own parents were content paying no mind to me, its gonna be hard but if he is slipping like that just remember he is going to a better place

 

[Lestat]

just enjoy the fact that you were able to be so close to such a wonderful person, this is a part of life we all have to deal with

 

[Ulcasterdropout]

Yes, you will lose it....and be fine a week later.
You let your emotions out, so you air the pain out your heart, faster.

[slickdadd]

Sorry to hear. Sounds like a great grandpa. You were very luck to have him.

 

[HdanSjr]

Sorry to hear about what may happen. I was in your shoes in March 2002 when my granddad left. I was lost for such a long time. IT was really hard. I hope the best for you.

 

[needtogrow]

Hang in there bro. Cherish every moment you have with him
