I guess around 4:30 today my grandpa looked up in the air, waved to someone, the curtains in the room moved like a breeze hit them and then he was gone. My grandma called to tell us what happened about a half hour later. So now all we are doing is waiting to find out what the arangements are to see when we are going to be going to Ohio.
Of course death is always a sad occasion but at least he is at peace now. My grandpa suffered from alzheimer's. Anyone that has ever seen someone affect by this understands how much this disease really changes people. I can't even imagine how it must feel to just slowly have everything you know slip away from you. Can you imagine waking up everyday and not knowing anyone around you? Not being able to recognize a single face? But not only do you not know who those people,you realize that you are completely dependent on them for everything. My grandpa used to be stubborn and opinionated. He would never to tell you exactly what you should be doing and how it should be done. I can't imagine going from being such an independent person to not being able to eat on you own. The even scarier thing is there is nothing that can be done about it. Once it starts the only thing that can be done is to just attempt to slow down the process.
RIP
