Grandfather (Thoughts, Prayers, and advice)

I had lost my grandfather back in '08...he was sick for a while with cancer, but he was beating it. Things took a bad turn for the worse and he was in the hospital for a while. He never wanted me to see him in the condition he was. He refused to let me come in the room the one day I came to visit...I told my mother I'd let him have his way this time, because I planned on visiting him again that same week...unfortunately for me, the next day he passed away, and I've never forgiven myself for being such a pushover with him.

My advice...spend everyday like it's his last, because it could take you off guard, let him know how much you appreciate him. Not getting the opportunity is something that's hard to live with.
