My Dear Sweet Grandpa

My grandpa turned 78 on March 14. He is a father of 7 children and has 8 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. He lost his sweetheart of 62 years last June to kidney cancer. We try to keep him busy, so that he won't be so lonely. We always thought that we would lose him first and not my grandma. My grandpa has a really bad heart. He has had 2 massive heart-attacks, 1 open heart surgery, and 3 smaller heart-attacks and heart surgery's to go along with those 3. Now he has conjested heart failure and a pace-maker. His own heart works at 10% and the rest is the pace-maker. He is truley a survivor. But when we found out that my grandma had kidney cancer October of 2006, it was like; this could not be happening. 8 months later she passed away. She was the strongest person; I always thought she would out lives all. Now I try and see my grandpa everyday. Because you don't always know what's coming your way. And life can be taken away from you with a blink of an eye. Especially the ones you love.
So now I try and live life to the fullest.
