My father grew up without a father...with no male role model. No grandfather stepped in. I'm soooooo thankful for you for your grandfather. What an amazing man. I'm sad to know someone like that passed...but I'm so happy to know that someone like that lived.
Hugs and sympathy for you moes. Your poem was very touching and heartfelt. I lost both of my grandfathers within a couple years of each other and I was very close to both of them as well (lived within a 2 minute bike ride of both my entire life). It's hard to not have them to turn to but keep the good memories close and the great ones even closer. No one will be able to say the words that will instantly make you feel better, but lean on those closest to you when you feel down about it. FB hug the boy for me. I will be thinking of and praying for yall.
sorry for your loss.... very excellent poem and i hope you reread that often to think about him. i lost my grandfather last June and i still think about him often.
Sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine losing my grandpa. It's good that you had and awesome relationship with him while he was alive. R.I.P.
I am sorry for your loss. Your Grandfather was obviously a Great man. For some of us . .. whose fathers were not around . .. I don't think the impact of a Great Grandfather could be expressed enough. I am happy you had him in your life I am happy you got as much time as you did and I wish you had more. He went above and beyond. I pray for your and your family Rocket River
That was a very touching post, moes. Read every word. I'm so sorry that you have lost someone that you were so close to and someone that seemed like such a special person. I will keep you and your family in my prayers as you attempt to get through this rough time. Sincere condolences
Sorry to hear about your loss and my deepest condolences to your family. Its always a tragedy to lose someone important to you and but be glad that he got to live a full and great life and also that his suffering from cancer is over. He sounds like a great man and it was good that his life helped a lot of people for the better.
Sounds like a great man. Keep your head up, and take solace in the fact that he was able to spend as much time here as he did. Sorry for your loss...
I'm sorry to hear about your Grandfather. He sounds like an incredible man, and it seems like he did a great job raising you. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
well lets see. my grandfather was a kind hearted person and many people liked him also. my father never had anything to do with me in my life. my grandfather did smoke but had quit for 20+ years before he developed lung cancer. he died four years ago. my uncle had to send me an email so i would come one last time because he in his words "was fading fast." the last time i had saw him my grandmother had cooked dinner. i had to help him from the living room to the table. when dinner was finished and i had said my last goodbye, my uncle told me outside that he had not eaten in 2 or 3 days and he just did because i was there. i was his only grandchild and he i suppose ate because i was there. that i think i the last time i cried.
My grandfather was also like a father to me when my dad was absent. He passed over 9 years ago and I still miss him daily. Sorry for your loss.
It seems as though you're grandfather was a great man, of which the world can have enough of. Real men. Men who take care of their families and instill priceless knowledge and values upon his future generations. I'd like to thank you're grand father, my father (deceased), and all of the other men alive or not who took the time to go above and beyond. RIP
He sounds like he was a hell of a man. To make such a positive impact on someone's life as he did to you, not to mention many other people's...I can't imagine how hard this must be for you. I'm sure every ounce of pride you feel from having him in your life, he felt for you. Hang in there, moes.
