My grandfather was hospitalized in 1992 and my aunt called me around 5:30 a.m. and told me my mother wanted me to come to the hospital because he was doing worse. I took my time, took a shower, stopped my Mickey D's and got some gas. By the time I got there, he was already gone. I've lived with that for 15 years.
BTW, I'm sorry for your family's loss.

Yes life is precious, and it puts a lot of lifes issues into perspective. My wife lost her father this past summer. We were at Lake Cumberland having a family vacation, when he passed on the boat of a massive heart attack. He was very special to everyone that knew him. We will be having our first Christmas without him. A loss also makes you closer to the people who you care about, an extra hug....never leaving without saying "I love You"... because LIFE IS PRECIOUS.

Yes it is!! The Bible tells us that we have no promise of tomorrow.
You never know, so we should be mindful of our loved ones and
make the most of every day. Sorry for your losses.:(

May God Bless You and Your Family. We never really know how much someone meant to us until they leave here. Then, we realize what things in our lives are really important. I know, I have taken a lot for granted in my life. I lost my mother a few years ago. But, the good Lord has given me peace and comfort and I know He will do the same for you.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Trust in Jesus and youall will get through it. We lost my wifes mother last year after a horrible battle with renal cancer. Things are never the same. And guys for all of us . Never forget to tell your family you love them before you walk out the door every morning. Because you have no promise your coming back!!!!!!!
