I know exactly how you feel. My granddad was recently diagnosed with h-4 lung cancer and his heart is too weak to go through surgery or treatment. He was put in hospice care yesterday. This is the first grandparent I will lose, so I'm not quite sure how to act or feel. i hope your remaining days with your grandfather are happy and meaningful.
