Bad Christmas

[Tiller]

We got the call at 3 a.m. Granddaddy Mac is in the emergency room. Get there as soon as possible.

He had been fighting lung and throat cancer, along with COPD. He started throwing up blood around 2 a.m. and went into cardiac arrest soon after. His brain was without oxygen for 40 minutes.

At 6 they told us he was basically gone. They will keep him on a respirator for 24 hours, but there was no brain activity and he was not breathing on his own. As soon as they take him off the respirator, he will pass away immediately.

So make sure you cherish your loved ones today. We celebrated Christmas with him yesterday and I am thankful we got to see him right before. You never really know...

:cry:

Sorry for your loss Tyler!

After the grief period you would probably start to remember all the right and happy moments he has given you all.

I recently lost my grandmother. She was one of the most important people in my life, so I understand how you feel.

Tiller,

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. My condolences to you and your family. My own father passed away recently after a long battle with cancer, and the thing that gave me comfort was when I realized that he was no longer suffering. It's difficult because you know you will miss them terribly, but it helps when you realize that they've gone on to a much better place.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.
