The last time i saw my grandad was new years day. He wasnt even poorly. The only comfort i had been able to find is knowing that his death was like switching off a light so he didn't suffer, but now i know it wasn't the case.
On Tuesaday 27th January late at night he sufferered from excruciating back pain which he too pain killers for. He was also suffering form severe vomiting and sweating. He phoned NHS direct for some advice and they recommended that he got himself to hospital. They didn't send out a ambulance, even thought the hospital wasn't far away, he had too drive himself. When he got to the hospital he was seen by the doctors and they simply diagnosed him with just back pain which he sometimes suffered from. Me and my family didn't know any of this, as we are quite a drive away so couldn't get there soon enough. On Wednesday 28th, the cleaner went in as usual and found him already asleep on the bathroom floor so there was nothing that could be done to save him.
My grandad then had to go in for an autopsy as we all had no idea what had gone on. It was found he had suffered from a ruptured aneurysm in his lower abdomon. We found a prescription on the table, so we thought he had called the doctor, out so because of this an inquest had to be done.
We have now found out, that if the doctors at the hospital had looked into the symptoms in greater deatai, an oporation could have been done, that could have saved his life. There was a chance her wouldn't of made it, but because in all other ways he was healthy there was a good chance of survival.
Del really was a one of a kind grandather. Even though he used to tease me, he never failed too make me laugh. Even when my grandma passed away, he always tried his best to continue her legacy.
We always used too have competitions when either of us went away too see who could bring back the silliest present.
After we lost my grandma, things were never quite the same. He kept going for our sake even though he longed too be with her,
I love my grandad more then anything and he kept me going, when I felt like giving up.
I shall do my very best to make you proud of me, and you are an inspiration to never give up so i never will.
I love you so much Dadcu sleep well back with Mamgu and keep her safe.
love

Grandad by Unknown Author
Grandad so many images come to mind
whenever I speak your name;
It seems without you in my life
things have never been the same.
What happened to those lazy days
when I was just a child;
When my life was consumed in you
in your love, and in your smile.
What happened to all those times
when I always looked at you;
No matter what happened in my life
You could make my grey skies blue.
Grandad some days I hear your voice
and turn to see your face;
yet in my turning......it seems
the sound has been erased.
Grandad who will I turn to for answers
when life does not make sense;
who will be there to hold me close
when the pieces just don't fit.
Oh Grandad if I could turn back time
and once more hear your voice;
I'd tell you that out of all the Grandads
you would still be my choice.
Please always know I love you
and no one can take your place;
years may come and go
but your memory will never be erased.
Today Jesus, as you are listening
in your home above;
would you go and find my Grandad
and give him all my love.
THE ROSE BEYOND THE WALL
A rose once grew where all could see
Sheltered beside a garden wall
And as the days passed swiftly by
It spread its branches straight and tall...
One day a beam of light shone through
A crevice that had opened wide
The rose bent gently toward its warmth
Then passed beyond to the other side...
Now you who deeply feel its loss
Be comforted, the rose blooms there
Its beauty ever greater now
Nurtured by gods own loving care
take care petx
