Would you tell them?

They can't. The only flight back is on monday and is fully booked.

I had to leave a message at the hotel reception for them to come back to me and that it was urgent. First thing they did when they couldn't get hold of me at first was to check flights.

At least the funeral is after they're scheduled to return.

Just got off the phone to them.

I've just had to tell my dad over the phone that his dad is dead, and that it happened the day they flew out on holiday.

I never want to have to do anything like that again.

Sorry you had to go through that. Whilst I would love to have met my grandfather, I think it's times like these that I realise I would never want to go through what you just have. I hope your Father is OK.
 
Hey Gilly, heres to all the good times you remember with your grandad.

There are no words really to console you I know, its always me that has to break sad news to the family, because I can without breaking down and making everybody feel bad, but god knows how much you want to cry inside.

I know its easy to say, but be strong and be there for your familly, because right now, your dad will be feeling everything from guilt to anger to confusion depending on the sort of person he is.

Just know that we are all here behind you and when you feel that you don't know where to turn, you have a much bigger virtual familly supporting you and thinking of you at this sad time.
 
Anniversary of my Grandads death today, 1 year since : (

Always horrible seeing the old pictures of them raising your parents and holding you as a baby : (

I realize I'm a bit late with saying this.

Hope it doesn't affect you too bad Gilly, I think I was pretty strong when I was told he died, sadly I wasn't there. (He was at a hospice, was happy there though around loved ones when it happened)

Anyhoo R.I.P Gilly's Grandad and Philip Cooke (Grandad) =)
 
I would have asked him if it was OK to bring up a thread like this again.

I hope things are OK Gilly.
