a sad day

[wheyman]

I feel for ya bro! I'm in the process of losing my mother now; she has been fighting lung cancer for two years and she has never touched tobacco. Look at this way...

Death is only another part of life; not the end. The pain we feel is for ourselves because we will miss them being in our every day lives. There is no reason to feel bad for the lost one; they are going to a better place than here.

I lost my grandparents when I was really young but I grew close to Stromba's and when they passed in recent years it was really hard but, knowing how happy they would be being together again somehow made it easier.

Best wishes to you and your family.

They will live on as long as their memories live on. During the holidays, don't be afraid to mention them, it will bring back many good memories to everyone.



(Sorry I banned ya for a bit, just lookin out for the board but I made a mistake.)

i think Christmas is going to be the worst.
Grandma would always be up at 4am, gettin supper ready.......damn she was such a busy body and her food was like nothin else in this world.
after a few drinks Grandpa would whip out the saxophone and just play away, while my uncles would strum the acoustic guitars.
good times

they surely will never be forgotton though, we have a large family on my moms side (parents sre divorced) and we are very close.

here's a funny story that was told during my grandpa's eulogy.
it was the worst storm in recent history, it just snuck up on us during the day, rain, hail, high speed winds.
my grandpa gets a craving for walawala onions, so whats he do.........he gets his oldest son John to drive to the grocery store to get some...he was the only one shoppin that day, probally in the entire city....lol.
he came back to the house, and looked like a drowned rat, but at least he had my grandpas walawala onions.


it feels good to talk about this
thanks guys

Reliving stuff like that's the best ever!

Hubby has some video of him at his 25th b-day with his grandparents. He just set the camera down and let it roll. Some of the best stuff ever!n Just family being family. :)

Enjoy your memories and share them, that's what it's all about!!!

They haven't left you bro, they just went home. It sounds to me like you were very passionate about them and I know it must hurt so much, just gotta keep telling yourself that they aren't really gone, their just in another place waiting to see you again some day. It's great that you were so close to them, 3 of my 4 grandparents passed before I was old enough to walk. You and your grandparents will be in my prayers.
