Hey ya'll,
Just got a call from my mom, who just got a call from the Hospice nurse. My 90 year old grandfather, WWII Veteran and all around bad-arse MoFo, has taken a turn for the worse. They said they'd be surprised if he makes it another couple of days. My brother and I went down to visit him and Gma yesterday. We got a call from the nursing home (parents were out of town and they had my number as the emergency contact) saying they were pretty sure he'd had a stroke and that he wasn't doing well.
It was so sad. Seeing this incredibly brave and strong man, one who made it through the war and the great depression and a multitude of crap life handed him, reduced to a pile of flesh that could barely hold his head up.
Sometimes life just seems so damned unfair. I just hope he's not suffering. He's seen enough of that. I pray that through some miracle he makes an amazing recovery. If not, I hope he goes quickly and without pain or fear.
Thank you all.
Still trying my best to abide,
The Dude
