I'm Not Doing To Well

Well, it's not exactly me... it's my grandfather.

Two years ago, he was diagnosed with dementia, a kind of Alzheimer's disease.

Incase you guys, don't know Alzheimer's is a disease that affect your brain, it basically ends up wasting away until their is nothing left.

He's forgotten how to eat, speak, even go to the bathroom.

Next month, he'll be in a nursing home for exactly four years now, but I don't think he's gonna be around that long.

While my sister and I were at school, my mom went to the nursing home.

What she told me was basically he's showing all the symptoms of passing on.

Sunken in temples, his skin turning bluish-grey (from lack of oxygen), rapid breathing that's like panting and so on.

My mom also said that he'll probably end up leaving within today or tomorrow. :cry:

I'm really gonna miss him... I'm actually crying right now.

Comfort please?
