I normally don't do this on BBS's. But, even though this past weekend was exceptional meeting about 50+ folks at Dayton from here, I am now thrust into reflection. The reflecting part is borderline mild depression.
My Grandmother from my fathers side passed away this AM, quietly in her dining room. Man does this hurt, she was 89. One Grandparent left for me.
Please, take time to tell your Grandparents, parents, etc those three words.
<<S>> all, I'll be flying tonight to alleviate some of this.

Condolences.
Our grandparents I think help shape our lives in ways we often do not realise.
All of mine are gone. But I can readily identify traits, life codes and habits each has handed down to me.
Grandfather mothers side. A John Wayne charator type sense of right. And a loathing of curruption.
Grandmother, mothers side. A willingness to try new experiences. Not to let age hold you back.
Grandmother Fathers side. Sense of humor. The ability to laugh in the face of adversity or when the chips are down.
Not to take life too seriously.
Grandfather. Fathers side. Sense of pride in America. Patiotism. Always reach for the brass ring and never give up.
I miss them all. but I remember all they left me. And all they gave me.
Just like mine. Yours will live on within you for as long as you live.
They will still talk to you in only you take the time to listen
They will always be there for you.
So long as you keep them in your heart.
<S>

While I didnt have someone that close to me die....I did have 2 coworkers die within 3 weeks of each other the 2nd one dieing July 4th weekend....
The 2nd one I was especially really close to and it hurt for a long time...
I can say I have come to peace with it but it still hurts every now and then and still have the memories.....
Whats helped me is friends the most, and to think of the happy times I have had with them.....
Best wishes to you and your family K, stuff like this hurts but have to think positive as hard as it is.... :salute

I'm sorry for your loss. You need to concentrate on the memories you have for the time you spent with your Grandmother. At least you had up until now with her. My Grandparents were both deceased by the time I was born. My Grandmother died of cancer the year I was born. I never had the chance to meet them and for that reason I envy you even now at the time you are hurting. You have memories I never had the chance to make.
It's now time for you to buck up and spend time with your family. Grieve but keep in mind that life for you goes on and you have other family members who need you. Make more memories with them because memories are all that we can carry from this life here.

My condolences Masherbrum. I lost my stepbrother last night after a long battle with cancer. He was a good man.

Condolences Mash. My 99 yr old grandmother died a couple of months ago. I know it sucks for you. It gets better <S>

Sincere condolences Mash and rpm

My prayers are with you and your family, I only knew my 2 grandmothers and I bearly knew 1 of them. Never knew any of my grand fathers. I know the pain of loosing a grand parent, as I have none, and I'm only 15. Anyone lucky enough to grow up with their grand parents should charish anymoment they have with them. :salute

Keep your head up, and be glad to have known her.
We lost my Grandmother a year ago in January. It was hard. She was 87.
My wife and I gave up our apartment to move in with my Grandfather (87, also), so he could stay at his own house, and NOT an old folks home.
We never forget to tell him those three words.

Best wishes, I lost a Grandfather and Grandmother in less than one week last year, I'm down to one also now. I feel your pain <<S>>

Karaya and rpm.... My condolences to you both. Life is is filled with loss, but the memories help ease the suffering.
I never met my paternal grandmother, she died in 1935 from Bright's Disease, leaving three kids behind (17, 13 and 11). My paternal grandfather died in 1975 at the age of 89.. For some reason, I was never especially close with him. Nonetheless, his loss was painful to me. I took emergency leave to attend his funeral.
However, I was extremely close with my maternal grand parents as they owned the duplex townhouse we lived in for several years. We had the second floor apartment. I spent much of my early days with them. My grandfather (Pop-pop) died in 1958, but I remember him so clearly. "Nanny", as we called my grandmother, lived beyond her 93rd birthday, passing away in 1994. I was the apple of her eye, being born on her birthday and being her first grand child. She and Pop-pop spoiled me without shame.
I've buried my dad and my mother is now 80 years old, but healthy and active. My own grandchild knows me as Pop-pop... So the wheel turns.
Karaya and rpm, you will find that the pain gradually subsides, but the memories and photos will bring you comfort forever. Don't just mourn what you've lost, but celebrate what they gave you.
My regards,
Widewing

Sorry for your loss Karaya :( You've been a really good friend to me for the past few months after i changed my act, and it always seems that bad things happens to good people. But if we really take a look into it's not such a bad thing. We can look at it as if she has gone to a better place. A place of no pain. A place of no sorrow. And one day you will see her again and walk by her side. If there is anything i can do for you just let me know sir.
My condolences :salute
<P.S. - My next landed victories will be in honor of Karaya and in memory of his grandmother>
