Goodness

[Marnamber]

Gramps:

A fulminant cancer destroyed your body yesterday... Still cannot belive it. 4 months ago, you, an 85 year old man, went every single morning to the square and ran 10 Km. With 85 years you still drove your old Dodge around the city. Your leg muscles were the size of my head.

Yesterday you lost a battle, but till your very last breath, you didn't give up. Today I'm crying not only the abscense of your physical body, but also the goodness lost. I saw, that you wanted to live, no matter what you still wanted to get cured.

It was hard to tell grandma (who is in the same hospital after a hip surgery she had), but she's strong, and we'll be there with her.

I love you old man... See in the dark side of the moon.

Best wishes from Spain... Been through that twice and support is really important; you have mine.

¡Mucha fuerza, amigo!

Condolences my friend.

Joy is feather-light
But who can carry it?
Sorrow falls like a landslide
Who can parry it?

I wish I had more to offer than my prayers and condolences, but please know that you have them both...

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I love the sense of community here, that's why, maybe I feel better expressing my feelings here at the forum that with my neighbours for example. You're all friends for me.

It's not the end, death is a full transformation. Wherever he is, I'll start hammering and playing metal till he can hear me.
