Sarah Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone for all the messages of support, the text messages emails and facebook replies that i've had. It so comforting to have a great group of people being there and being supportive. I got a call at 11.30 Tuesday night to say his breathing had gotten worse and that we should go up to be with him. I stayed with him holding his hand until he quietly slipped away at 6.15pm GMT on 24th March. He was in no pain or discomfort and I hope deep down he knew that he wasn't alone. He'd been in hospital since 21st January and the nurses had gotten very attached to him, they came in to say goodbye to him and gave him a kiss, and left in tears. It was so touching, we couldn't have asked for better care than what he received. We're going to the funeral directors tomorrow moring so will have a date for the funeral then. And then we have to start clearing his flat which is going to be horrendusly difficult. There may be furniture items there such as his undercounter fridge / freezer, washer etc which we will want to go to a good home so I will be getting a list together and putting it up here if anyone is interested in collecting these items. I'll post this seperately though at a later date. Thank you again to everyone i'll leave you with a pic of me and grandad taken a few weeks ago when he was reading his messages from all his grandchildren on here - this brought a tear to his eye to know that so many people from all over the world were thinking of him. His ashes will be placed with my Grandma's and on her headstone a very fitting message reads: "You left a void no one can fill, we miss you now and always will" I think that sums up exactly how I feel right now. RIP Grandad I will always love you so very much xxxxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
