Grandpa Died Today


Recommended Posts

So today, my last grandparent died of lymphoma at 87, in his sleep.  Despite his few faults he was for the most part a great man and the world is lesser without him.  Today marks the first time in my life without any living grandparents.  I fucking hate change, and death.  It's comforting to know when we go we stop existing but it's also still frightening as well.  Despite the pain I feel now I like existing.  Maybe when (if) I get to his age I'll have endured enough of it to finally be ready as well.  Maybe when (if) I make it to that age assisted suicide laws will be sane to where he could have just checked out when he wanted to.  Maybe when (if) I make it to that age we'll have the singularity in place; However that scares me too as I'll have to share eternity with all you assholes ;)

I don't know what else to say so I guess I'll end this here.

Singularity - Who knows...eternity together might not be such a bad thing...at least you would already know what everyone was thinking before they felt they thought it. :happy:

Just be aware of the need to meddle in the lives of other planetary races...

Sorry for your loss. I'm sure your grandad had a well lived life. I can't image all of the amazing things he got to see in his lifetime. Also, Type O rules!

If anyone is interested, the viewing is from 3-9 PM at Hopcroft Funeral Home at the Madison Heights location on John R.  The funeral is the next day at a church called The Woods at the Warren location on 13 Mile Rd. at 10:00 AM.  Can't wait to set foot in a church again :nut

    • Being astonished... Amazed even, that after gawd awful pain for weeks, now in much less pain it's made me feel mildly okay about living, where just 3 weeks ago in the same condition I'm in now, i was still miserable anyway. Everything being much worse o'er the past two weeks has given me new appreciation for the typical degree of dumpster fire that my life generally is. Now i been looking at it like, "nice, this dumpster fire is way better than that sewage treatment plant fire over there. Damn y'all, I'm sure happy to be in this dumpster fire, not that $h¡† hole  over yonder at least... Hey this is a great dumpster fire here, fo real." Lol
    • Tron you seem to chauffeur a lot. I'm curious if you had any vehicle to choose from, what automobile would you most want to drive for chauffererizing or whatever the future tense twice removed description-like verb, exploitative deleted, adjectiverb or idkwtf form of that word. Errr uh, shit you know what i mean what automobile would you most prefer to cheuffer individuals out of in all the world over? Yeah. $64,000 question of the day right there. Lol 
    • Mine went great, i finally haven't been in excruciating multiple shattered rotted tooth collapsing corroding jawbone pain for most of a whole day for the first time in a week and I went and bought shoes for all three kids and a bunch of clothes they needed at great deals that the wife will be furious and unhappy about.... I mean already is mad about, the second that i told her. And i bought a fresh ass pair of Nike LeBron's for 20 bucks too, which also was great since i left my under armour boots behind at the last hotel like a dumbass. Whooo, i think it was the first day in weeks that i was only mildy miserable instead of being absolutely fμ¢k¡ⁿ miserable like usual lmao. Sry i had to say it somewhere and right here jumped right the hell out at me lol.
    • Warming up.  A couple of hours of cutting grass in this 44 degree weather and I froze.  I am contemplating going back out before the Sun goes down, but most likely, stuff will have to wait until tomorrow's high. 
    • Finally got a clear day to get back to the yardwork and clean out situation.
