my prayers to all those living and dying with AIDS and those that love them, for their physical pain and mental anguish and prejudices that thrive like a virus and hurt just as badly

Went to visit my grandfather tonight, he's now gone 10 days without eating and about half that without fluids but is still around. I almost did not want to go but I did, I absolutely hate seeing him like this, but I know that despite his condition, it's not that that's doing this, I just don't think he wants to live the way he is anymore.

I am thankful for the thoughts, as I am sure they are a good reason why he's still around. If I seem a little out of it lately, I assure you that there is good reason for it.

Been quite a rough morning today. Been up since four am, because my grandfather passed away early this morning. I guess I'm partly still in shock, but also somewhat mad at myself because I wasn't feeling up to going to visit him again last night, putting it off until tomorrow, only to be woken up and shown the mistake I had made.

I want to thank those of you who kept him and my family in your thoughts and prayers, it means the world to me.

I won't promise to be your friend forever, because I won't live that long. But let me be your friend as long as I live.

My condolences True.

Grieve as you need to, but hold no guilt against yourself. Things happen in their own time. Your Grandfather is no longer in pain. He is in good company and is being well cared for. In a way, perhaps it was for the best you did not see him last night. When you left the night before there was an air of goodness left behind. One of comfort and not of impending doom. That "One more day" feeling. Not the feeling of "This may be it" finality.

I am sure he knew how you loved and felt about him, and I am sure you know how he felt for you. THIS is what you can hold onto. THIS is what you SHOULD hold onto, not a bad feeling of guilt or shame. All is now well with him.

Sometimes I think our loved ones hold onto our feelings before they depart. They know we love them and will miss them. They know we feel a loss that cannot be put into words. But do not hold onto a feeling of "unfinished business or guilt". Instead hold onto a feeling of quiet peace. Allow them to feel this peace. Then have earned it. You have earned it through your love and experiences with your Grandfather.

I know nothing I can say or do to make this easier for you my True... but I hope in some small way I have given you something to reflect on. Remember the time you had together and be thankful for it. Remember his life.... how he lived.... not how he died.

In this you do him true Honor.

My Brother,

At this time of being thankful for what is in our lives-- reflect back on what you've shared with your Grandfather over the years.  He was no doubt a blessing in your life, and I have no doubt you're hurting right now.  But-- please, know that he loved you, and thank the Good Lord above that he was in your life for awhile.  He'll be keeping an eye on you now and always.

Love and comfort surrounding you and your family in this difficult time.

i ask for prayers, please, for my daughter, whom will have surgery wednesday, just eight weeks after having a c-section. while its for the best it is still scary for us and it seems that i can help her best by babysitting the baby at home while her fiance stays with her at the hospital. i really, really want to be with her when she goes in and comes out of surgery. not that i won't love my time with the baby but when she naps i will be pacing those floors until i hear and then see that my daughter is okay. please send prayers and positive thoughts
