Grandad Passed Away


At 1:15am yesterday morning, my grandad suddenly passed away he had been ill for quite some time, but he never let on just how ill he was he had been to the hospital for numerous tests, and they decided that he had TB, then two months later they changed their minds, and the mystery continued.

I got the phonecall about an hour after going to bed - my uncle had been helping my grandad down the stairs, and as he got to the bottom he felt my grandad go the ambulance was called, and my uncle performed CPR on him until they arrived, but he passed away before the ambulance arrived on the scene

It's my birthday today and with a big family christmas planned I really don't think I can face it my mum is in bits so I'm having to stay strong for her - I've been up for almost 24 hours now and I'm not even feeling tired.

I just had to let this out
