My Grandad :

We found out that my Grandad had cancer about 15th october 2008 it absolutley torn threw all the family, we was all absolutley devastated on the news we just heard of the nurses, all that went through our heads was "will he get better... will he live" but no.1 could say till they did test on him so we waited.....


2 Weeks went on and my Grandad has had a huge batch of test done to him BUT ....the mcmillan nurses told the family that he has cancer in his nose and its spreading rapidly and is now in his right eye, as my Grandad cried about what the nurses was tellin the family and him it just started to seem so real and all we was all thinking is "how" "why him" "is this really happening" and as i was being told all i could do was cry n think " no this is not happenin, not to my Grandad surley not ??? "

Another 2 weeks went by (12.11.08) my Grandads right eye had swollen really badley and didnt look that pleasant but i didnt care that was my beautiful grandad and didnt care how he looked i just wanted my bubbly...funny...smiling and always cheerful Grandad back but we all new it wasn't goin to happen. He could hardly move.. when i use to visit at home he would be in his chair were he always sat and would be talkin to me but i could hardley make sence of what he was telling me so my nana use to have to tell me i dont know how she understud what he was saying but my nana was taking it all abit normal...she didnt want it to be true but none of us did! she would be running round the house madly cleaning cleaning and just cleaning i suppose that was my nana's way of dealing with all thats happeing around her, (she was going to loose her husband) ....


As the weeks went on my Grandad started Kemo Theropy... he had about 3 batches as his hair started to come out we was tinkin its workin it workin, and at this point we was thinkin theres a good chance the cancer could be going slowley but surley... all the family and my grandad new this wasn't goin to be easy on anyone but we have to do it to help Grandad if it meens him getting better we would do absoltley anything.


It got to about 5th of December 2008 and we have bin told that my Grandad has the aggresive type cancer, and that the Kemo Theropy is not working (gasp) my Grandad broke into tears as the family surrounded him also crying... " what happens now we thought"...
the nurses have told the family that they are so sorry the kemo didnt work..
my Grandad so tired and worn out just wanted to go home...

At this point we was all so broken and didnt know what to do if anything my Grandad was so brave and just wanted to go home and let it happen when it happens, (dies) as the weeks went by my grandad's body was still fighting the cancer alone without any help or kemo he was on morphine to help with the pain that his body was having....
as brave as my grandad was he was discussing his funeral and what he wanted i.e songs people talkin ect...

It got to about 10th January 2009 and we have bin told of the nurses that my Grandad had 24hours left to live, all the family had gone to the house to be with him and he was still with us on the 12th..13th 14th and then we was thinking he's fine why did they say that to us? .... and he's still fighting it ???? but sadley on the 15th of January with all his family around his bedside my Grandad peasefully passed away in his sleep at 11.20am ....

grandad, you were just a lad,
so many years ago.
you had your love and had your dreams,
you watch us come and go.
you watch us make the same mistakes,
that you have made before,
but that has just made you hold us tight,
And loved us all the more.
we haven't always thought about
the thing you have seen.

but we remember now in love,
your life from the start till the end,
and we're glad we knew you,
as a grandad and as a friend
