Grandfather (Thoughts, Prayers, and advice)

If he has been declining for awhile and knows the end is comming. The best thing you can do is be trhere for him. We all want to hang on to the ones we love but that just isn't possible. I lost my dad 8 yrs ago . He was a self made man as were most of the men from the great generation. My Dad could do it all ,carpentry, electrical, automotive, general maintenance. He foregot more then I will ever know. He was very independent and short on patients. The last couple of years before he died ,found him relieing more on me which was new to him. We became closer in those two years then we ever had. We never said we loved each other (men just didn't do that )After his death I went to the old house to sort things out, I found myself outside setting in a lawn chair he would set in and have a cigaret acouple days earlier we had been visiting there. I broke down and cried. Its ok to say you love them. I miss my Dad to this day.
