After a day out with friends, the expected became true, I lost my grandad (george) today, after coming home from a day out at the beach with friends, I saw my mum in tears and she told me that my grandad passed away at 5:30 this evening. I was quite shocked but it didnt really sink in, so off I went, out with my friends for a few drinks this evening to finish the day off, afterall, I dont think my grandad would want me or anyone else moping around. Only a few weeks ago, me my gf and her family went to france, where we also went to the beach ( graye sur mer) where my grandad landed on in dday, this was also very moving, He had really bad circulation in his legs which led to an amputation of his leg earlier this week, not to mention him only having one kidney, and this one kidney being in renal failure too. I'd always looked at my granddad as such a strong character, someone who would always be there. As said, I have just returned from a few drinks and to be honest, It couldnt have hit me any harder. Just been on the phone to my GF where I've just sobbed my heart out :( To think I shall never see him again. A few drinks through out the night were toasted to him, but atleast he's not suffering now and with my grandma. This might not make much sense, I suppose after a few drinks, nothing much does, all I know is I shall miss him very much. :(

RIP Grandad

I'm sorry for your loss, my Grandad is a d day veteran too and they certainly don't make them like that any more.
Be proud of what he went through and remember the good times.

RIP George.
 
RIP George.

Losing anyone is never easy.

I lost my grandad 6 years ago now. It gets easier as time goes on but its still difficult :(.

My thoughts are with you and your family.
 
Sorry to hear about your Grandad :(

I lost mine earlier this year, sad thing was, it was on my mums Birthday :(
 
RIP to another veteran and hero.
My sympathies for you and your family Cosmic, but i'm sure you'll celebrate his life rather than mourn his passing.
Best wishes.
 
About ten years since I lost my only Grandpa now, a great man but hopefully he will live on inside for you, it does not really feel like he is gone that much. RIP George.
 
Sorry for your loss.

I know i will be just as upset when my grandad passes. We get on very well :(
 
RIP to your Grandad, but stay strong and remember the good times.

Mine is on his way out too soon I am anticipating, he has been in and out of hospital so many times, he has major breathing problems, he is very weak and frail at the moment, going to visit him tomorrow.

Last time I went to see him I came out of the hospital and let out a cry :( but whilst I was in there I had to stay strong and make him see me happy.
