Goodbye grandpa. I'll miss you. Give grandma a hug from us.

Goodbye grandpa, and thanks for everything.

It's a lovely evening to start your journey to the big upstairs.

Now you and grandma can be together again, forever.

Godspeed.







Guys, I just said goodbye to my grandfather.
He's 94 and will probably not make it through the night.
I don't really believe in God but I like to think that grandma is waiting for him.
Please, some good thoughts and prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry for your loss.

94 is a good long life. He had a good run.

She may be.

There is much we don't know, and if it were true, we couldn't know, anymore than a dolphin can know what is beyond the beach.

He must, given his age and where you live, have had a rich, often tumultuous life.

I wish him peace.

Condolances to you and your family. While 94 is a long life it is still hard to say goodbye.

I went through virtually the same emotions with my grandmother three years ago and knew that despite my family's sorrow at letting go..."they" were reunited after 75 years together. I actually said a "prayer" for him "to bring her home". I don't know "what" happens, but my ex-g/f was a hospice nurse and told me stories occasionally. Your grandpa is in for a peaceful journey as he passes over to the other side...be well Geronimo!

Geronimo,

Sorry to hear of your loss. He obviously was a great man here, as he has a grandson who misses him so much.

Best wishes to you and all of your family in this time of loss and remembrance.

Thank you all for the kind words.
It's comforting to know that he did have a good life, 94 healthy years and over 60 years of marriage.
That's a good run indeed.

Be thankfull that you had the opportunity to spend some time with him and say goodbye. When my mom passed I had that. When my wife lost her father she did not. It haunts her often.

You and yours are in our thoughts.
