My Grandpa is dying.
It's just a matter of time. Mom just told me it's stage 4 cancer.

I don't know how this came up all of a sudden, but he did have cancer before.

Nothing I can really do at this time.

3. Just don't know how to register news like this right now.
Usually just stunned about news like this, sad for him.

2. I'm sorry.
Been there, done that. It sucked. He had lung cancer and emphysema. The other one died before I was born. Go be with him as much as you can while he's still around. Hugs.

9. Hard when your grandparents die. But pretty soon you'll 'think back ore the years and laugh and
wiggle both your ears'.
