	DRose, I am sorry about your Grandma Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Mine died last night

Her grandkids were on their way, got in today

My sister with her new born were coming in on Thursday

and we were to be there on Friday with my wife who is 5+ months pregnant

I have taken time off work to go spend time with her (she lves 3 hours away)

I was her only grandson

She was my last grandma

She was my favorite grandma (sorry nana, but I think you knew)

Her husband, my grandpa, was my religious and educational mentor

I knew her love better than others

When my grandfather died in 92 I asked her how they met and how they were married... turns out she ran away from her home in N. Carolina to marry this military boy who moved from his tank company to the newly formed airforce during WWI... his tank company was wipped out in N. Africa. I was the first to discover that she ran away from home to marry....

I miss her already

Her man, my grandpa, spoiled her rotten and left her with US... Ugggg, imagine a spoiled rotten 70 year old!@ Then imagine her living for another 15 years!



I loved her to death... To her I was her husband as a young man. I was the only one who could tell her to shut-up, stay in line, or convince her that she was loved as I snuck her a smoke

She died in her sleep

peace.

The best thing about grandma marring my gpa at 15 was that she actually ran away from home

when I asked her how her folks felt she responded, "I don't know"

apparently she left a note

really, though, I know nothing of her side of the family

that's rather sad, I don't even know her maiden name!

Thanks for the sorrow... I am sure she;ll love it

I miss her a lot.

Sounds like you were the young man she needed you to be, Japher.

I wish you and your family the best.

Wait a second, why does the thread title make mention of me? Japher, I appreciate the mention, but my grandma has her own thread. This one should be about yours.

Could the mods please alter the title? It makes me feel a little awkward.

Why? Threads "targetting" an individual poster are forbidden, IIRC. And while Japher's intent is good and respectful, I would think the request of the person "targetted" is enough to change it.

Well, I'm sure my mom knows it, i've just never asked.

DRose's request to change it was also made with good intent, should it also be ignored?

Nevermind, change it to "My Grandma Died"

---

I thinking I should go home and help my mom with the arrangements. However, maybe that's because I don't want to be here at work. My Aunt comes in, and she has done crap since my grandma got sick. Even my cousins have taken time off and flown out to help. My Aunt has been retired for 6 months and didn't even come out to help or to see her mother... I had very little respect for her, and now I have even less.

I'm taking Friday off.

"Targeted" threads of this nature are pretty benign; I don't see the problem. However, the appearance of my name and situation in a thread about someone else's dead grandmother, regardless of intent, just made me feel like the rain on their funeral procession.

In any case, thank you again Japher and condolances.

Thanks for yours (all of you)... I wasn't targetting you I was sympathizing with you. Since, now I can... Even though I lost my other gma over a decade ago, it just ain't the same. I actually had a really good realtionship with this one since she lived in town for the past 15 years. The other grandma kind of hated me.
