My most sincere condolences, mate - I'm sorry to hear that.

I don't know if it's any consolation right now, but your grandfather is in a better place now. I hope you and your family all the best during your healing process.

Im very sorry to hear about that.
My grandad also passed away, in October and I know what it is like.
And yes time will heal, there was a touching poem that Sazerac posted to me when my grandad passed away, I have it at home so when iget home, I will post it for you.
Hope you are ok

You have my deepest symphaties Morgie. And it must be a terrible feeling not to be able to return home to give/receive support from your family.

I really hope the army will reconsider and allow for you to return home.

I am so sorry for you. Your post brought tears to my eyes and I will pray for your grandfather and your family. I hope you will get to see them as soon as possible in order to help them through this difficult time. My deepest sympathies.

As I mentioned in the Cafe a few days ago my Grandfather had a stroke last Saturday, half of his body was paralyzed and numb, and he was having trouble swallowing, or speaking.

Yesterday he was speaking to my Great-Uncles Earl, Pete, and Roy, all dead several years, I'm not sure whether they were by his side in his final hours but I'd like to think they were.

He passed away this morning, it's been very hard on my Grandmother, and my dad, and the whole affair has been very difficult for me, as I am currently living some 2500 miles away and due to the fact that I'm in the process of leaving the military (clearing right now) I can't make it back for the funeral Monday and the soonest I can leave is around the 10th of March. My biggest fear about the military would be not being present when he finally passed on, and despite being in a unit where I could normally go (pulling strings and bending rules since he wasn't my legal guardian) I'm unable to be with my family through this time (due to outprocessing from the army). it seems my fear from almost 5 years ago proved more correct than I could have guessed

anyway, I'd like to thank Cloudy, Attalus, Galadria, Magik, TL, and all the others I can't remember right now who have expressed sympathy, and tried to give advice... the support I've gotten here has meant alot to me.

Oh Morguerat!!!!

I'm so sorry to hear he passed on and you couldn't be there! I was offline all day yesterday (been sick) and just saw this. My sincerest sympathy to you and your family. *hug* I'm sure your family will understand why you can't be there and that you would have gotten away if you could have. God Bless and keep you through this difficult time.

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandfather. It must be hard for you being so far away.

Wulfere · 02-28-2003, 08:45 AM

There are so many things to say about this.
But, the only thing that counts is that he knows
you cared and your family will understand.
You have my very deepest sympathy Morgeruat.
God Bless and Speed you on your trip home.

A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands now rest,
So many wonderful memories
Sleeping peaceful, never to wake
Taken home in God's loving embrace.
