Grandad

Tonight we went to visit my Grandad who had a heart attack and is in the hospital. It looked as though he might die tonight, so we rushed there but further diagnosis showed that he will probably make the night. It was a nice visit though.
Other than some trouble breathing and clearly weak and tired, he was pretty much his normal self. He is 87 and is quite alright with the idea of passing away. His only concern was that Nana (his wife) was going to be okay if he was gone. We all assured him that she would be quite alright and the family was all there to help her out.
So we will see how he does over the weekend (if he makes it) and after that, see how my Nana, who is also sick right now, will deal with all of this.
He's a pretty robust guy and a very cool Grandad also well as Great Grandad to Maya. It would be nice if he hung around a few more years so she might have a few memories of him later in life.
