My grandpa died today
My dad's father died today at St. Luke's hospital. I was there from 3PM to 4:30PM and I was right there when he died. He had a heart attack yesterday and his situation was just getting worse. Relatives coming from overseas were already flying back here when he died.
We got to be witnesses to the rest of the family. We believe he became a Christian a few years ago, and so we believe he is in heaven now. I was the first one who got to say goodbye to him as he was fading... I told him, with tears in my eyes but a smile on my face, "You are getting out of here! You are going to be with the Lord and you will soon be rid of this body which is causing you so much pain."
We'll be attending the funeral service later this week (probably on Friday). Please keep the family in prayer.

Mikel-
I am so sorry to hear of your Grandpa passing on. That is a difficult thing. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Your bro,
Ryan
Thanks, man. Not much to do besides pray for physical and emotional strength for us and especially my dad.
There are a lot of tradions and gatherings that I'm learning about as they occur. For example, 9 days after my grandpa's death, we are supposed to gather once again. Pray Jojo does OK with all of this since getting out and staying out late takes a lot out of the little guy.
