My grandpa passed away

[PiradicalMaid]

I know this isn't really "on topic" here, but I kind of wanted to reach out for virtual hugs, if that's ok.

Yesterday, my grandpa passed away. It wasn't a huge surprise, but I think it's hard to ever really be prepared for something like this. He went peacefully at home in his bed, which is what he always wanted, so that is comforting at least. He was ready to go, but I still miss him. He was an amazing man who lived an unbelievable life (seriously, you would love the book about his life!). I've always admired and looked up to him. It's hard to think about him not being here any more.

He was my last living grandparent. It feels kind of weird not to have grandparents now-- like a rite of passage I never thought about before hand.

Thanks for letting me share.

Def hugs from me, I know how hard that is first hand. At least him going peacefully can give you some solace. You and you're family are in my thoughts. Hang in there.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your grandfather. All of my grandparents are dead, as well. And it was a hard thing to come to terms with for sure.

Sending hugs and comfort your way.

Sorry for your loss. Even when you know that it is coming, it is still really hard to lose a loved one. Many hugs for you and your family!
