Crappy Weekend

First, I found out that my Yard Horse, which is a chinese version of a Gator or Mule, has a screwed transmission. Back to cleaning the barn out with a wheel barrow. Then I get a call last night from my dad. My grandpa died in his sleep. He's had heart problems, but he was always real active, always there to lend a hand. He was funny, loving. It's hard to believe he's just gone. I'm starting to cry writing this. I think the worst is not having had a chance to say goodbye.

Im so sorry loosing someone you love is always tough. What matters most is he knew you loved him and it sounds like he went really peacefully that is such a blessing.

man that is a bad weekend. im so sorry to hear about your g-pa!!!

Not a good weekend at all. I lost my Grandparents years ago and have the most wonderful memories of them. I know you will miss him. He will be out there keeping an eye on you and making sure you are safe and happy. Just remember as long as he lives in your heart he will always be with you.

I am so sorry for you loss. I'm sure your grandpa knew you loved him very much and you will always have your memories.

Oh, Im so sorry, Grandpas are pretty special!

I am so sorry for your loss.

Prayers to you from IL. At least he went peacefully in his sleep, be glad for that. My grandpa died of colon cancer 5 years ago and it was a horrible thing to watch. I'd always hoped he'd go in his sleep or just real suddenly but I guess God was testing my strength to take care of him...

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandpa.(Hugs) Its really hard to loose someone. I hope I'm as lucky to just pass in my sleep. He will always be with you in your heart.

We drove 4 hours today and are staying at my mom's place and will go to the funeral tomorrow (sunday). The worst part is that my dad never even phoned me to tell me when the funeral is. I had to hear it from my maternal grandma, and my parents have been divorced for over 25 years. And he never called my brother either. But at least someone let us know. It'll be terrible tomorrow, cause neither me nor my brother are all that close to our paternal side of the family. Our grandpa was by far our favorite. But I'm glad he went peacefully and didn't have to endure a long illness.

I am sorry honey. This is always so hard and hurtful. Just keep your good thoughts about him and it will all smooth out soon.
