Just went down and collected todays posts. The other day mother sent off some photos that i've been wanting her to send off for months, she got em put on CD so i didnt bother looking through both sets of printouts as one wasn't mine but copied to my harddrive so i could have a gander. and whilst going through them i found pictures my grandad, who passed away on the 23rd of December, and well my heart just sank.. i remember the day of the photos as if it was just yesterday and now i know all i have to remember him by is photos and memories...

it just not right :(
 
Sorry to hear that, he must have had a good life though if he had a family that cared about him, so think of the good memories. :)

Death is just another path, one that we all must take.
 
Im afraid that's the way it goes, there's nothing you can do to change it. Just be glad you at least have the pictures to remember him by.
 
I share your pain. My grandfather died earlier this year. People in my family have a habit of passing away.

As said, cherish the memories and those photos you've got. Just because they're not physically present doesn't mean you stop thinking about them. My father died when I was 16, yet I still think about him regularly and I'm in my thirties now.

When I started reading this thread, I thought you were gonna have some embarrassing photos of you and a sheep that your Mum got put on to the CD too. ;)
 
Gutting mate, only way to deal with it is swallow the lump that forms in your throat, remember how happy he made you. You'll never get over someones death, the pain just eases.
 
LOL, well that cheered me up a bit.

shame i've got such a small family as well, mum, dad, 2 sisters, 4 cousins, 2 aunts and 2 uncles.

12 family, and thats from both parents sides. :o
 
has happened to me a few times this year after my gran passed away.

and sometimes remembering the happy times makes it worse for me because i miss those times so much
 
That is why it is so important to get petty arguments and disagreements into perspective.

I lost both parents in 2002. Not a day goes by when I don't think about them.

I now only have my aunt left.

Life is precious.
 
im sorry to hear that Hussman, i cant even imagine how hard that must have been for you.


Thanks matey.

I was 33 at the time, not really a kid but still a massive shock.

There are people who loose parents much younger than I did.

It make you understand how petty most of the arguments we have with loved ones really are.

I get much comfort from the fact I know the last thing I said to my Mum was, "I love you."

i know how you feel, i lost my granny nearly 4 months ago...cancer runs in my family :(

yer, thats what my grandad died of. doctors first diagnosed it as a pulled muscle then the pains got worse and worse, he consulted another 2 doctors, only 1 of them wanted to run further tests and he was the doctor that found out he had lung cancer, but by the time he was diagnosed it had spread every where in his chance and there was no chance they could have removed it.
