OIF Vet Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 As a lot of you know, this week I lost a good friend of mine while serving in Afghanistan. Today, my family was told that my grandfather Angelo has been given 24 hours to live. He has been in a nursing home for the past year. When he was admitted into the nursing home they found a spot on one of his lungs. That spot has grown over time and this is what is causing his health to get worse. He is 97 years old and immigrated from Italy in 1919. His wife (my grandmother) died in 1980 and he has lived with my parents ever since. He has a daughter (my mom) and his son (my uncle) died in 2001. He has 6 grandchildren and 11 great children ranging from 16 to 8. The nurses have him as comfortable as possible. His meds are adjusted so that he is sleeping most of the time. If you find time to pray, please pray for him. Please pray for his comfort and ease. I know that he will be in a better place and the lord will take care of him. God bless. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70'sChevyGirl Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Rob, I am sooooo sorry that your having to deal with 2 deaths in such a short time. Your grandfather and buddy are in a much better place. My grandma (who died at the age of 96) always told me that where we are living now is Hell and much happier times are found in Heaven. My thoughts are with you. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_rhoden Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Rob at least he is in a place where the pain doesn't hurt him anymore and he can be with your grandmother. My prayers are with you and your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
