grandfather only has 6-12 months to live. He was diagnosed with
emphysema late last year. I got to see him at christmas (my family lives
in Illinois, I live in Texas). I don't know if I'll be able to see him
before he goes This is another worry added to my many
others...this is not good Any prayers are welcome

I shall keep you and your grandfather in my prayers.

My prayers and thoughts are with you. Always remember you have friends
here you can come to when things get tough. ((Hugs))

I understand what you're goin through. I lost my grampa two years ago,
and couldn't go see him, he was in Cali, and I'm in Arkansas. I had to
stay at the job cuz my mom was the manager and I was a supervisor, and
we only had one more member of management, so I told my mom just to go
and tell him I loved him. I think about him every time I go fishin, cuz
that's one of the only pics I got of him was when I was little and we
were fishin. It'll be hard. I'll pray for your strength and his health.
Sometimes I still cry cuz I miss him so much. He was the only person
who's been 100 % brutally honest with me, and I respected that more than
anything.

lil, just remember the good times that you had with him. i never got to
see my grandpa before he passed away from his second stroke, but i
remember him as a healthy man who loved all of us grandkids and would
spoil us when we went to see him. i remember all the good times and i
don't have the memory of him being so sick. if you can't make it up
there, find away of making sure that he knows you love him and that you
wish you could be there to see him. call him often and send cards
telling him that you love him. he'll appreciate these and he'll also
know that you love him so very much. my prayers are with you and your
grandpa. i pray that God gives you peace and the strength to handle what
is going on.

diane

well I do understand what you're going through and my throughts and
prayers will be with you.

very sorry to hear that, our prayer's go out to you.

Very fine words Herewego, and I agree.

And April if you can make sure as his time draws near, make sure he is
with someone he loves and who loves HIM!!!

And you have already been blessed as to know him,,I have never had one
in my life....

My prayers are with you and your family


My grandfather passed away due to problems from emphysema. Most of the
time it is not the emphysema that gets them it is sometimes the smallest
cold that will bring them down. My Dad also had emphysema for many years
but it was not the emphysema that that he passed away from. So keep your
head up and your prayers going for there is a fact that they can live
many years with emphysema.

(((((((HUGS)))))))) TO YA!!!
