Hey everyone, I'm sorry I haven't been around since Thursday. My grandfather passed away Friday morning and I've been sleeping since Friday at 10 pm. I know he's much better off and I will see him again. So I won't be back on until maybe tonight *depends on when i get back* and I won't be here tomorrow because that's when the funeral is.
I know in the end I'll be happy that I got to see him before he died, but not like that......I turned and ran when I saw him, call me a coward if you want....but whomever that was in the hospital bed was not my grandfather, therefore I didn't want to see him.
My grandfather had been diagnosed with lung cancer, a tumor in his brain, a spot on his liver and spine, he had suffered from a stomach flu that dehydrated him so much that they had 4 bags of IV fluid in him within two hours. That was Thursday evening, he was ok then. Yeah he wasn't exactly the picture of health, but he wasn't on deaths door. Around 2 am he coded, they brought him back but he was very confused and his kidneys were on the way out. I got the phone call at 5 am that I had to be up in Tupelo because my grandmother was in hysterics and I was the closest family member. I didn't want to go....but I knew I'd have to....I don't like that side of my family at all, but I still went anyway.
So.....yeah......anyway, I'm gonna get food and head to the Shop for a bit, calm my nerves before having to go back to my grandparents house. It'll be a mad house, and it'll be all about the youngest son Scott and his "genius" of a two year old......but it's still family......gotta love em.
