Finally. I have been waiting a year for this, I am going down tomorrow afternoon for the wake and staying over night. NOT looking forward to this. I hate NY. No matter how bad people say it is here (NE) it's nowhere near as bad as NY. I grew up there and you couldn't pay me to live there again. Holy shit is every goddamn thing outrageously expensive. Sorry, just venting...

hope things go well. my grandmother is 93 and getting frailer and more forgetful each time I see her.

sorry to hear that man... good luck with NY.

Mine was 87, she suffered a stroke last year and pretty much died, but my father being the bleeding heart douche that he is, left her on life support for a whole year. Claiming "Bobby, I just can't kill my mother, I want to give the best quality of life I can" to which my response was "she all ready is DEAD, the machine is making her breathe, what the hell kind of quality of life is that?" the he hung up on me.
I know from personal experience how hard it is to pull the plug, but for me I understand the reality of the situation. So people just don't understand that sometimes you have to separate emotion from logic.

thank your lucky stars it was'nt alzheimers...shit ain't weak

Cheers Rob, keep it positive brother.

She was in the first stages of it when she had the stroke, I do consider it lucky for her and for us that the stroke got to her first.


Nick thanks bro, I appreciate it.

it's a fucked up cycle we live.
my condolences to you Rob.

Fo shizzle.

Better that it's done with at this point, but I'm guessing that doesn't make it much easier. Both my grams were pretty much "time to go already" when they died, so I know where you're at. Drive safe.

Sorry to hear that, my condolences. Its good that you're going to be there for your family.

sorry to hear about your loss..

sorry to hear it :(

Sorry to hear that shit, Rob. My condolences also.

my condolences..it's not easy..I've lost all my grandparents and dad..
sucks

I feel you man, horrible part of life. I lost my mom eirlier this year and I am still trying to figure out how to cope without her. Good luck man, and keep your head up!
