Godspeed great poster. I hope we meet up in the next life.

Very sorry to hear it.

I just got back from our 3rd family funeral visitation in 8 days. 2 were cancer including a 38 year old cousin.

Cancer is an asshole.

So sorry to hear this. He's always been a lot of fun to chat with. Seems like a great fella in real life too from what I've read. Never had the pleasure to meet him. May God bless him and all his loved ones through his journey home. From my experience with a couple grandparents hospice folks are great. I pray that they make him as comfortable as possible.

Be proud of yourself young man. I know your dad is!! My grandpa was like my dad to and I watched as he went through this. It isn't the same, he was about 40 years older than your dad. Can't say I know exactly what your going through just that I can relate in a small way. Make sure you lean on your loved ones. There is plenty of folks here to lend an ear so don't hesitate to ask.

Take care young man

Time is the one thing that none of us will ever have enough of! Know the impact that you've had in many lives both online and in life. We may lose the ability to add new memories, but we shall always treasure the old ones. Godspeed on your journey, you will be missed.

Weirdest thing for me was that I have started counting backwards at 50. And it can get heavy.

The planet has raised about $900 in one day. I couldn't thank you all enough. This brings a great weight lifted off my shoulders when 2 days ago, the family was anxious on how we were gonna afford all of this. If we have 6 more days like today has gone, we will have the goal. I told my dad that the planet is helping raise the money and he thanked everybody. The hardest part is him not knowing why I am trying to raise it in the first place. Cancer Sucks. Keep sharing and donating. Thank you all. Go Chiefs.

My Mom has Alzheimer's. She doesn't know who I or anyone else is anymore. Other than that she is in perfect health. I have basically lost her, at least what made her, her.

We will keep reminding the Planet to help out about the upcoming debt you will have.

Stick around yourself and talk some football and life when you feel like it in the future.

I didn't know Dave personally but he seemed like a decent guy. Prayers for him and your family to help you get through this difficult time.

Sry to hear about your mom. Both my grandparents on my mom's side got Alzheimers and that was tough. I visited my grandma once in the hospital. She couldn't even speak. All she could do was look at me and smile. I don't even know if she recognized me at that point. That was the one and only time I could do that. She didn't last long in there anyway. My poor grandpa had to be put into a home for the last couple years. He would have flashbacks and think it was the 1950s again. I pray that God makes the transition for your mother easier.

I have been going through this with my grandmother for the last several years unfortunately. She'll be 94 this year and is otherwise in perfect health. Cancer took my grandfather years ago and Alzheimers took away my grandmother. I have trouble thinking of two worse diseases.

My grandmother went through this years ago. It was very tough on my mother.

She lived in a nursing home for a couple of years before she passed and I visited her once after she moved in. I never went back. I felt a bit guilty about that afterwards, but to me, that was not my grandmother lying in that bed.

My grandmother went through something like that last year before she passed of wernicke's encephalopathy (she wasn't an alcoholic). She didn't know who any of us were, which was really rough, only 16 and experiencing that.
