My grandpa is dying....

This past weekend has been horrible. My grandpa has had Parkinson's for years and has slowly been deteriorating. He's been in a nursing home, but other than his physical ailments there was nothing else wrong with him. Two weeks ago he got pneumonia and fought it. He had his last round of antibiotics last week and my grandma went to visit my uncle in Chicago. Yesterday the pneumonia came back and we were told that he may not make it through the day. We rushed to get my grandma on the next flight home. I went in and said my goodbyes. He made it through the night, but it's just a matter of waiting at this point. They aren't giving him any more food or fluids. I'm devastated to say the least. I don't even know what else to say about it. It kills me that he won't see me get married. He saw me in my wedding dress last month and told me how beautiful I looked. I'll never ever forget that moment.

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this, especially so close to your wedding... Losing a loved one is never easy, but the sting is a bit worse when you already have the stress of a wedding and the thoughts of how you wish they would be able to be there with you to celebrate. Again, so sorry!

I am so sorry I lost both of my grandfathers back in February and early March (three weeks apart) and the thought of them not being at my wedding absolutely killed me, but I know that they will be there in spirit. My one grandfather had actually just talked to me when he was in the hospital about dancing with me at my wedding, and now he won't be there to do it. Just keep his memory alive and keep your head up - you will get through this! Sending hugs and positive thoughts to you and your family <3
