Hey folks I just got word from my father that his mother just died. I was very close to her, plus I lost my grandfather just, her husband of over 65 years, just 2 years ago. I am very lucky, because I do have such a close knit family. This is a heartbreaker though, because it is like I lost the last little bit of my grandfather. These are the ones who taught me the most valuable lesson in life: Always be able to work with your hands, because there is always someone out there willing to pay you to do what they do not want to do.

The fondest memory I have is sitting in his lap whil &quot;helping&quot; him to drive the tractor plowing the field getting it ready for the corn or soybeans to be planted, and then her bringing us a jug of icewater in one of those old glass oraqngejuice jugs. After that she would go home and finish tending her rose bushes.She alway drove that red Maverick.

Well, that is what they are doing now, he is plowing a field of soybeans, and she has his icewater ready, then she will go home and tend the roses.

 
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, ulfwald. You are very lucky to have such a close family, and together you will be able to pull through this.

My condolences to you and your family 🙁
 
sorry to hear that, my grandparents are like my parents, when they pass, i cant think of a greater pain i will ever experenice, thier the only people that make me not wana kill myself
 
I pain for your lost. I too have a closed knit family and hope that none of them will leave me soon.
 
I'm sorry to hear that, ulfwald.

The only consolation is that you have a new guardian angel now...

🙁
 
Ulfwald, I am truely saddened by your loss. I lost a friend today, but that cannot compare to the sadness [or hapiness if you believe that they have gone to a better place] of your family's loss. You and your family will be in my prayers tonight.
 
ulfwald,

I can't say that I feel all that bad here. Seems like your Grandmother had a long and fruitful life. Your Grandparents obviously did a great job in their kids and therefore made you that much better a person.

Dieing is a part of life and it sounds to me like she made a good life. Good for her!
 
ulfwald,

My condolence to you &amp; your family 🙁

I had the similar lesson from my grandfather...translate to English, ?the empty palms is the sign of the wealthy person? (if you know how to use your hand you will never be out of work), and I was 7 years old at the time.

I have lost him 25 years ago, but now and again I still misses him...I still remember the sweet smell of his pipe tobacco, and his beautiful eyes &amp; smiles when I visit him.
 
Thank you all for your kind words, and it is a comfort to know that shew is in a better place.
 
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences to you and your family. Remember the good times that you had and that they will never depart from your heart or your memory.
 
My most sincere condolences on the passing of your grandmother. I also have a close family. My Mom is 85, and sharp as a tack, but her physical body is running into hard places. I'm thankful for every day she's with us.

Wishing you the best thoughts and memories of your time together.
 
My thoughts are with you and your family. It's good to know that you and your family are close, your grandparents sound like wonderful people 🙂
