lol, I spenbd half my school day learning hebrew (duel curriculum) so mine is pretty good.
Darlin I am so srry that you are going through this. When my poppa died it hurt so bad but deep inside I knew he would be better off. Everyone has a purpose on Earth and your grandfather has fulfilled his. Grieve over your loss, then become stronger. He is going to be so proud of you
wow thank you so much that really helps.
I marked you as qouteable
Thanks. I just know how hard it si to lose someone. I have lost 2 friends close to me and my poppa. I have realized that dying is a part of life but it is not the end. People live on through us. In our memories, in our hearts, and in our stories. we take the lessons they taught us and apply them to our lives. I know your grandfather must love you very much and sometimes people are sad to go. If i were you I would try to tell him how much his life has meant to you, you never know how much comfort you might bring to someone. Let him know that it will hurt to see him go, but that you will be ok, and that you appreciate all he has done.. p.s
if he has ever hurt you even unintentionally, forgive him.
my grandfather has gone beyong serving his purpose, he luved in poverty survived the holocaust, watched his mother and brother killed while he was fifteen, escaped on a motorcycle, came here supported himself, learned english, got married, had four kids, (one is disabled;), became a succesful landlord, went imnto heart failure 30 years ago, was gven a two week life span 13 years ago, was told he only had 505 f a working heart 13 years ago,
okay skiping alot of typing, in june he was told that only three percent of his heart works, he was given a maximum life sentence of two weeks, it has been nearly a year. Now his hneart, liver, kidneys, pancreaus, & gall bladder are failing, he also has a million other medical conditions, they shut off his IV at 9 this morning. He was supposed to die by 10 or 11. He is still breathing. He will be stubborn untill he is placed in his grave. He is a real fighter.
Sounds like you admire him very much and with good reason. I think you will do ok. Just always love him and never let his memories go
Sorry to hear about your granddad. I’ll be praying for you and your family.
Freak, so sorry for what you are about to experience, maybe. It sounds like your grandpa lived every second of his lifetime to the max. What an inspiration to all he encountered along his journey and just think, you got to be a part of him. WOW! We will pray for you and your family and hope all will focus on the wonder of your grandpa.
thank you all so much. I actually call my grandfather Zyda, because it’s a combination of yiddish, and hugaraian (where he is from)
I love you all I have to go, thank you for your support Bye!!!!!!!!!!
freak, I lost my Granddaddy when i was 12. i have spent the rest of my life so far cherishing memories of the wisest man I have ever known, and will most likely ever know. So know that your Zyda knew of the love and respect he had from you, and know that he was proud of you, his favorite. you know that. get over the pain one day, but don’t let his wisdom fade, or his greatness, pass on the stories. tell us one here when you have the time. God Bless.
Freakofnature,
I am so sorry to hear about your grandpa. I just lost mine 7 months ago to the same thing. I was so upset when he passed but I know his suffering was over. He lived 6 years with it and he was in and out of the hospital almost every other week. I will pray for you and your grandpa. Your grandpa sounds so much like mine :) He was a fighter until the end too. As I said, I will pray for you and him. And I’ll be here if ya want to talk.

Get to feeling better, death is hard. Chin up.
thank you all, unfortuanetley my grandfather passed at around 10 after 7 this morning. He was a fighter until the end. Just because the doctors said he was going to die yesturday he pulled through until today. He went in his sleep free of pain.
Are you OK, Freak? In grandpa’s memory and honor may we never forget the holocaust survivors. He is with God.
