Today has been tough.

[kpropain]

I lost my grandfather today, and it has been really tough...He has been one of the only three men that I looked at in great admiration and respect (the other two being my father and my other grandfather)....He went through three campaigns in WW II (Africa, Middle East, and France)...He had been pretty sick for the past few years and watching him suffer the way he has, has been tough enough to deal with...The only comforting feeling is that he is not suffering anymore....

[monalisa]

I've very sorry for your loss, kpro. May he live on in your heart and memories. *Hugs*

I am really sorry to hear this, and I can feel what your going through. One of the men That I really admired (my father) was in vietnam, my grandfather was also a WWII vet. Them men did what they had to do for "US", I really am sorry the only way to get through it is to live to make them proud, and remember all of the great memories you have had. I truely am sorry for you and your familys loss, take care and keep your head up. My aunt just passed away from brain cancer sunday, I hate to say it but I am glad because I do know shes in a better place, and is not suffering anymore, as well as with my father and your grandfather they are in a way better place than this fucked up world we live in.

[kpropain]

Thank you Monalisa and AmericanManiac, and I'm really sorry to hear about your aunt AM, I guess you understand what I am going through right now...
I cherish all the memories I had with him and all of life's hard lessons that he taught me about, even though sometimes I didn't understand them...

I guess today I have really taken a step back and just realized ( not that I didn't before) but more so now, just how precious life is to us and how fragile it can be...

That is excatly what I did when my dad passed, I didn't understand a lot of stuff until he was gone. Now wish that I knew then so I could thank him for everything, he has done but I will see him again one day. Until then just live life to make him proud and keep in mind what he had taught me about life. Once again I am sorry to hear *shakes your hand*, hang in there buddy ! :(

I'm so sorry to hear that Kpro. It's so hard to lose family members. Keep your head up, you know we're here for you if you need anything.

[bloodrayne]

Damn...This has been a shitty week for EVERYONE I've talked to lately...WTF?...This SHOULD be the best time of year...

I hate to hear that Kevin...Take care

[Phalanx]

Hey man...well, the good in this is that the worst is over...you don't have to be thinking about him in pain anymore, yeah?
Now you just gotta focus on y'self...take some time, yknow?
Suggestion? Hammer down a few drinks/bowls and think about the good times when you feel right to do it, and try to get some sleep if you feel overwhelmed.
Keep yourself healthy, make sure you eat right.

Kevin,


When I first joined HDC three years ago, you befriended me right away. We chatted a whole hell of alot online and also chatted it up on the phone. Your a great guy to which I have tons of respect for. I fucked you over about a year ago when I lied to you. It has hurt me ever since. Because we don't talk as much. I wanna let you know that I am here for you. I am sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

I am always here for you brotha.

Always.

Sincerely,

Gore aka Jonathan Mahoney

P.S. I tried PMing you back but your in box is full.

I don't know you kpropain, or your grandfather, but I know what it's like. My grandfather died about two years ago to cancer. Like you, it made me reflect on life a bit. I came to the conclusion that life is like a good story, and a story isn't great unless it has a good ending.

Hang in there buddy. The first couple of days are tough, but then you learn to smile and laugh when thinking of him and the things he did rather than feeling only loss.

[Miss Olivia]

Harsh. I'm really sorry for your loss.

[Ginger<3]

sorry about your grandfather. my grandfather died 5 weeks after my baby was born and he never got to see him. it really makes me sad that i don't have a picture of grampie and drew together. also he died EXACTLY 4 years after his wife. after my grandmother died grampie spent a lot of his time with his brother and his wife but about 2 months before my grampie died his brother died. it's kinda like he just was lonely and passed away which is really sad. he wasn't really sick or anything. i guess the best thing to do is remember the good times. like for me i think about when i was little my nana always said when the sun sparkles on the water it was "nana's diamonds" and when i saw them it meant she was thinking about me. to this day nana's diamonds make me tear up and smile all at the same time.

i really hope you find the strength you need to get through this and just remember to never forget the good times.

Sorry for your troubles K. It sounds like you had a good relationship with your grandfather.I'm sure you have fond memories to keep him with you.

[stygianwitch]

Sorry to hear of your loss kpro, my thoughts are with you

[Roderick Usher]

My heart goes out to you.

A while ago I had replied to a post where I said that HDC was like a big family. That's what I like about this place - there are times when a joke misfires, the humour gets a little strained but when it matters the most, everyone joins together.

My thoughts are with you, in this time.

[spookshowbitch]

My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family.
He is at peace.

[kpropain]

I sincerely appreciate everyone who showed their concern, it's really great to know that this place is like a family...

I know you have probably heard enough about how people are sorri by now, well when my father died of cancer I realy got sick of people consoeling me, sometimes you need to just come to turns with it on your own. I find other peoples grief doesn't realy help, and especially people who never knew or liked the person in question. People can be realy odd at these times.

I myself was back in my hometown the last few days and went to my fathers grave today for the first time since christmas, it would have been his birthday last week. Also an Uncle who died last year is burried just rite behind him.

As for my granfather, it was horrible, I just couldn't find his grave, it was realy strange. Although I never knew him, I have been visiting his grave since I was a little kid, he died after he came back from the war, he was a grave digger in my home town, he got a lung infection, and one day walked back into town and collapsed on the undertakers steps and died.

My mum only told me this around a year ago about where he died, you see I used to walk around the undertakers corner to get the bus for school everyday.

[spookshowbitch]

kpro, I'm very sorry for your loss. My sympathies to you and your family.

[alkytrio666]

I'm very, very sorry for your loss, kpro. No matter how many experiences a man has, he's never prepared for death. It's a horrible thing to go through, but I hope, and know, you'll handle it well. Take care of yourself, and we're here for ya'.
