My Grandmother...

[greenldydragon]

Dragonboy,

I've come really late to this post, but I'm so sorry to hear about your Great-Grandmother and your Grandfather's cancer! It is very hard to lose someone so close to you and then have to worry about losing another close companion. My grandfather got lung cancer when I was young, and it is an experience I hope I never will have to repeat. As your grandfather still smokes, mine didn't quit either, no matter how hard my sister and I begged him to. Hopefully your grandfather survives his cancer like mine did! Unfortunately my grandfather got lung cancer a second time and died from it. My advice to you is to spend as much time as possible with your grandfather while you can. I was young when my grandfather died and it never really hit me that he was gone until he wasn't there anymore. I would give anything to talk to him again, we were very close. I pray that you and your grandfather have years to come together. Hopefully the experimental drug works!! If he is looking good then that is a good sign. Luck!

Oh my *sigh* it's been so long since I've posted to my family! No I've haven't forgotten about any of my family on here! I've missed all of you so much! I decided to post on my poor grandfathers topic insted of making another one, because it would just clutter the General Board.

So were have I been? Well my life has gone very much downhill. I know your a supporting family...and if you just are interested about my Grandfather...skip to the next paragraph, I won't mind. My personnal life has been full of mean, and immature high-schoolers that pick on the fat ones like me. It's a very mean world out there and I hate it. Grr. I haven't been on the site, well actually I can't say that. I have been on the site...just looking and reading, but not really posting. I've been too depressed to do that. I don't know if you would consider that pathetic or not. I'm trying in life, but it's hard. Yes coming from a 16 year old I bet that sounds pathetic!

So my grandfather, he's not better at all. The stupid Morphein they have him on has him doing strange things during the night. Like cutting up a blanket with a jack-knife (in which my grandmother put away all sharp objects) going outside in the negatives, seeing things that aren't there, and writing on walls, and objects that shouldn't be written on! My grandmother got scared, and got nurses in to help. There going to help with my Grandfathers batheing, making sure he's eating, drinking, taking his pills, and moving around enough to get some exercise. That's good. He wouldn't listen very much to my Grandmother, but I believe he will listen to them!

Gosh my hands hurt from typing now! I don't really have the energy right now to post on other forums, maybe tommorow I will get up the nerve and introduce myself to any new members. Of course now most likely no one remembers me and I am the new one! Ah well.... I love you all, most of you are the only ones who care!

Hey there, Lil Bro! It has been WAY to long since the last time you graced us with your presence! And we DO love and care about you! So at least check in from time to time and let us know how you are and how things are going so that we won't worry, okay?

Sorry to hear about your grandad, but you hang in there buddy, okay? And if you need someone to talk to, you know my e-mail address, so drop me an e-mail anytime, okay?

And you're right, kids that age are cruel. I went through it too! But just remember, in just a few more years, you'll most likely never have to look at those people again unless you choose to! You just concentrate on your studies and try to have a GOOD time. You will get through and you will survive. I promise! And know you don't sound pathetic, you sound like just about anyone at that age. That age is difficult, but just remember, even the ones who act so confident and act as though they think they are so much better than you are just as insecure as you are inside.

Hang in there buddy! It doesn't last forever and it WILL get better!

And regardless what you may think, I really DO care about ya!

Stay in touch!

Your Big Bro...
