Well, despite the sadness of the event, I'm very thankful. My grandfather passed away yesterday at 92 1/2. I'm very grateful that I was able to finally move out here and let him get to know his great grandsons for a few months at least and get to see him more frequently than every couple years. We last saw him about a week and a half ago, and he seemed GREAT, really sharp, happy, everything. After that, he went into the hospital again for some health issues, and decided after a day or so that he wanted to go to a hospice. Well, they gave him meds to make him comfortable, and took him off all the other meds, per his request, and he passed within a day or so of that, exactly as he wished to do (my grandmother passed 14 years ago). It wasn't unexpected, and I'm thankful that the last memories of him were with him in such great spirits and condition. Keep your family close and enjoy every minute.
