He died playing solitaire....

For those of you who don't know, which is everyone, because i never talked about it, my grandfather has been battling cancer for the past few months. when i say battling, i mean winning, or so we thought. he was taking Chemo, and seemed to be doing fine, but today, apparently, he died. he was just sitting there, playing solitaire, and he fell

I know it hurts, it hurts a lot. But I have true faith that he is in a better place now.
You know I'm here for you and I love you. We will walk this path together, I promise.

i'm sorry aaron :0( i wouldn't look at it like a mockery though... be happy that he died peacefully and not in time of war or any other circumstance.

Hey hun... I'm so sorry for your loss. Losing loved ones is such a hard thing, but you will survive and you will come out on the other end stronger. If there is anything that you need, if you just want to talk, anything... just gimme a call. I know that I haven't always been the best of people to you, but I came to realize that if you are worth all of my little sis' love.. then you have all of mine too. I will be here for you bro, now and always.
Hugs

When I read this post the song "Amazing Grace" came one by coincidence.

I think dieing while playing solitaire is probably one of the better ways to go. You sit there enjoying a simple card game reflecting on all the things you've done. Apparently he's done a lot. While watching the memories float by, you are only concerned about simple cards. Not war, fires, or saving lives, but simple memories, simple thoughts, and simple loves that make a life worth living. The ability to reach his age, go through such enriching experiences, and to rest by playing a card game isn't one we strive for? I think solitaire is one of the best ways to leave such a complicated world.

I’m sorry for your lost. You must have really loved him.
