Well, my granda died today. I never really knew him all that well, though I stopped with him and my gran pretty much every week when I was a kid, he was always a bit of an enigma. I do know that its hit me quite hard, I loved him, there was no doubting that at all, and Im going to miss him badly

I am so, so, so sorry, Michael. I know how much you loved him and hated seeing him deteriorate as much as he did.

he's been in a home for the past year and I just couldnt bring myself to go in to visit him very often, it was a horrible shitty place and it was rotten to see him in that environment. Now I feel like shit for not seeing him in his final few months.

Don't feel bad. I'm sure you're granda knew how much you loved him. It's hard seeing people we love deteriorate. I have a hard time visiting my grandmother for the same reason. It's not shitty of you; it's a normal reaction.

I was silently sobbing my heart out, then when she asked me if I was okay I was absolutely crushed. And that made her cry, then I felt like shit for that.

Why? Crying is healthy and cathartic! If anything, I'm sure crying with you did her a world of good.

And if Ill remember one thing about him, its the fact that he had it hard, he could barely walk, he had parkinsons, a little braindamage, some of his bones and his lungs and everything were shot to
