Yesterday, just before midnight, Grandpa Jacks died from kidney failure. Our lives will never be the same; WE will never be the same. In the last 18 months, he has been a focal point of our lives.
We knew it was coming, he had been in severe pain for the last few days and eating less and less for the last month or so. Dan made the choice to take him to the ER, where blood tests told us about the kidney failure. We were told he had between 24 hours and 1 week to live. That was yesterday morning.
We will miss him, but he is whole and back with his sweetheart now. We can only hope that we did as much for him as he did for us.
Claire, I'm sorry about this. My grandma Packard passed away yesterday, and of course there are some of the same feelings. I feel some sadness, mostly feeling sad for my dad. But she was not comfortable the last little while, and she has been widowed for 5 years. We know she's in a better place.
