My grandfather died back in December in Portugal. He had called us back in March 07 telling us he was very sick because of some stomach pains he was having and didn't know how long we had. We all ended up flying out in April to spend time with him. When we got there we actually found out he was doing really well and the doctors said he would be fine. So, we came home content thinking he would be fine. One day, he apparently woke up in pain and coughing up blood. He took himself to the hospital and died 3 days later. An artery in his stomach had burst. We found out 2 days later on Dec 3rd 2007 and flew out to bury him the day we got there. It's still a loss that I'm coping with but I remember the good times. I remember going there as a kid and him carrying me around on his shoulders going into the cafe's and meeting all his buddies. I remember him taking us to the beach. Just so many great memories. Just think of the good times. Sometimes its easier not to say goodbye.

My grandmother, on my mom's side, was living here in the US with us. She was basically my 2nd mother. She helped my parents raise us. She was one of the biggest inspirations in my life. We lost her to cancer a few years ago and it stills brings tears to my eyes. We watched her die one night and its probably one of the most awful things I've ever seen. Watching someone slip away, that knows they're dying and not being able to do anything else for them. I'm know I should be grateful for being there but maybe it's selfish, it would have been easier just getting a call after she was gone.

But eiter way, think of the good times. Cheerish the memories.

The distance thing is always tough, espicially in a time like this. Remember the good times

that makes you look at people with a bit more love. One thing I can say to is that he will always be around you just have to find other ways to communicate with him

And never forgot what he taught you
