Grandpa R.I.P ❤

Rissa

Grandpa passed away May 8, 2018 he was in the hospital for 10 days, he had a heart attack. He had emergency surgery the night of his heart attack, they said if they didnt do the surgery he would be dead in 25 minutes. He got through surgery & on medicine that only got his heart to work 20% & he was on a breathing machine. We live out of state we drove two days to get to him & the beginning of his 6th day in the hospital he was taken off the breathing machine because in his Will he didnt want to be on machines to keep him alive so we said our goodbyes he wasnt awake, we thought he would pass right away but he didnt. He got little better on the 7th day, by the 8th day he was awake & spoke in a low voice and tried to joke with us & he called me by my name & gave me a kiss on the cheek and smiled at me. I loved on my grandpa a lot that day & brushed his hair and gave him some small sips of water because couldnt drink much or eat at all. We asked him if he wanted a feeding tube he said no over & over again and we explained to him if he didnt he would die and he said he understands. That night he got worst his heart started beating too fast & almost giving him another heart attack we had to get the doctors give him stronger medicine, it didnt help. That night we decided he needed to be on Hopics because he needed to be comfortable before he passed because the doctors told us his heart is too damaged & his lungs are giving up on him & his legs were dying. My grandpa knew he was dying he stayed alive for couple more days, many people came to visit him & prayed for him to be at peace, we let him know we would be okay & he doesnt need to hold on for us anymore. May 8th, 2018 at 6:30am he passed away right when the nurses were switching shifts and before my uncle got there like 10 minutes he walked into his room. My uncle called us and said "grandpa is gone" we got to the hospital in 10 minutes after the call because we were at my grandpas house that was like 10 minutes away from the hospital. I saw my grandpa after he passed and said my final goodbye to him he just looked like he was asleep. The hardest part was when the funeral home came to pick him up and that was the last time I would see my grandpa I cried so hard then. This Wednesday May 16th, 2018 we are celebrating his life with family & friends and tell storys about him. I miss him so much and we are cleaning & packing his stuff up today. It doesnt feel real he is gone, but I know he is. 😢 I love you Grandpa I will see you again one day ❤
