I am sorry i know this is not about Gi joe but it is in many ways my Grandfather fought in WWII and i was closer to him then anyone in my life.... i am 29 now and i have no idea how i am going to handle this, i am lucky i have my freinds and wife in my life right now but... he was the man who build me bases out of wood for my toys or built em boat when joes needed to hit the high seas and affter all these years owned all the toys and everything he made me... knowing he is not longer in my life or wont see me have children of my own scares me alot... maybe i just dont think i learned enough or i am not the man i see him to be in my eyes... i dont know i just wanted to reach out to my fellow tankers and ask for alittle strengh right now...
oh and to make things more fun i have to work for two more days str8 before i can take time off so i cant even let all my emtions sink in.... I know what pain your going through, but it will get better. This is the time to lean on your friends and wife. |

There's nothing I can say that will change what you feel. This is an incredible loss and I empathize with your grief. Knowing that his care for you made you a better person (or at least, a happier one) will carry you some ways, but losing someone you're close to is never easy. May God comfort you and bless you through this tough time, bringing memories of joy in the midst of your sadness.

I am so sorry for your loss, and I grieve right along beside you. I grieve not just for your personal loss or any of my own, but for the collective loss of our society as a whole. Many of our grandparents were members of the "Greatest Generation", and there is getting to be fewer and fewer of them. It is hard to imagine a world in which we can no longer seek their advice, experience, and wisdom. It has always seemed to me that men and women of that generation were truly cut from a different cloth, and seemed to hold themselves to a higher standard of ethics, duty, and moral fiber. We must honor their memories by trying to lead our lives in a manner that is comparable to the to the way they lead theirs. Their accomplishments, and sacrifices must not be forgotten, and more importantly must be duplicated in order to maintain the world they left behind for us. Again I am sorry for your loss, but it will get better, and then we can make the world better by becoming people as great as our grandparents.

thank you all for your thoughs and prays, its hard when you are not the same person but as a kid growing up you see them in that light as heros or just better men. my father is a great man and still loves me but is more a freind i was raised more by him in the sence how my family was always around and my dad worked alot. tues is the views and wed is the church i am packing now and more and more it becomes more real and the less i want to deal with it. i know i have honored in his memory in love and in words i just dont know how to handle things right now. i have a wife i have to work full time when i was younger i thought when bad thign happend you had time to deal with them... now i have to moron deal and cry and still find the stregth to handle life... i dont hate the world for taking him or anything he was getting old and ill but as much as i know he will always be with me... where does that leave me?

Rejoice in your memories, and be thankful for all of the times that you shared together. So many kids grew up without knowing their grandparents, yet you knew yours well, and it sounds as though you shared a wonderful friendship that exceeded the blood-lines. You will have another time with him. Be sure of that.
God bless you guys. |

Really sorry to hear this. He might be gone, but dont let him be forgotten. He sounds like he was a great man and youll have tons of memories of him for the rest of your life. When you do have kids, make sure to teach them everything he taught you and tell them about him. He will live on here even though he is gone physically. It never gets easier, only different. Also hold dear the thought that many people never have a person like that in their lives, so you are one of the lucky ones.

Sincere Condolences DanithNY :(
Sounds like your Grandfather got the happiness and satisfaction in helping you with the wood bases etc and you loved him obviously dearly. My Grandfather passed away in a car crash when I was 10 but he also had a pivotal role in teaching me fishing. He was an Aussie Vet from WWII and I often feel he tried to do as much as he could for me despite his war injuries. Hard time now but in the future if you allow his example to shone through you then he's never gone. |
