Well, he's been bad for quite a while. I went on a field trip with the kids today, and when I returned to the school, the secretary gave me a message from my mom...I pretty much already knew what it was going to be.

This was my dad's father...we're all pretty devastated, but not shocked. He had a triple bypass surgery two weeks ago from today, and started dialysis for his kidneys. He's been sedated ever since, and has been on a ventilator. Today his lungs started to fill up, and we chose to take him off of the ventilator, as it was made apparent to my folks he would not be breathing on his own again.

So, it's been a pretty sad day around here. I left school early, and we're looking to have a Saturday morning service.

So sorry to hear of his passing sweetie. He is no longer in pain, just remember that, allthough it is hard.

MANY hugs sent to you and your family......

I don't think anything hurts as much as losing a loved one. We are all very sorry for your loss and extend our condolences to you and your family.
