I got a call today from my mom and she told me my gramdma was dying. I have to fly out to the west coast to see her one last time. Please pray for me that I make it out there in time. I need you guys to help me through this cause I just can't take this pain away right now.

Sorry to hear that Ki, I will pray for you and the fam.

I'm so sorry Kimura....you and your grandma will be in my thoughts.

Thanks so much guys. Please pray that I make it in time to see her.

I'm so sorry, Kimura.

It must be hard to you on this dates ... I'm sorry Kimura.

Sorry to hear about your Grandma bro, you will both be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you everyone for all your support. I'm still waiting to hear from my mom on when I should leave. I'm afraid to call at the moment for fear of bad news. Thank you all once again for the support and please pray for my grandmother, she's 97.

I wish you the best.... I wish we could do more for you.. She will be in our thoughts and our prayers

One would think that the loss of one's grandmother wouldn't be as difficult as the loss of a parent, but that's so untrue. I remember when I visited my grandmother a long time ago, I was a grown man and unemployed, she gave me a hundred dollars. I told her I wouldn't take her money, but she responded "what am I gonna do with it?" and insisted I take it. This is the kind of person she is so I hope you all understand that as she's about to pass away, this loss for me is as difficult for me as losing one's parents.

i care about my grandparents more than my parents. My parents were *******s to me growing up, my grandfather has to be one of the coolest and most standup guys, and of all his grandchildren, my sister and I were the only ones that were raised a different religion from him, and he was always the nicest to me and my sis. He's 89 now and he has started to get dementia, sometimes when he sees me, he either doesn't know me, or he sees me like a child, I am 25 and he was asking me how my school was going a couple days ago. I need to go see him more, but it's ****ty seeing him this way.

I'm here for you Kimura, all my thoughts and prayers are for you and your grandmother.

Go visit your grandfather caspr. The toughest thing to handle is not saying goodbye. My grandma is still with us, but she's barely concious and incoherent. I wish someone told me sooner, but my family didn't want to worry me and this makes me angry cause now it's too late so see your grandfather as often as you can while he's still with us, even if he doesn't remember you at times.

sorry to hear bro.don't worry about making it on time.you will make it, so think like that and stay positive.make the most of the visit and be safe.tell her there is a hundred people she don't know that is wishing her well

Thanks to everyone here at global, you've all been so helpful to me. I just wish I could find a way to remove this heartache. I know she's lived a long and full life, but knowing this still doesn't take away the pain. I just wish the healing would come a little faster and she's not even gone yet. I thank you all once again for seeing me through this extremely painful episode in my life.

I'm sorry to hear that man.

IM me if you feel like talking.

Thanks Tanner, I'll definitely IM you. Right now I'm gonna catch some sleep cause I barely slept last night and have to work tonight. I just might call in sick, but expect to hear from me Tanner.

I know how special you're gramma is Kimura, I hope whatever time you get to share with her will leave sweet memories. I think she will be proud to know you are there with her, just think, she was there when you come into the world, now you will be there with her when she leaves. That is a special gift Kimura..... Some people never get to say goodbye.
