Mar. 19th, 2009 12:25 pmMy grandpa died today :(
He lives in Vietnam and he'd been senile for years and wasting away - when I saw him on my honeymoon he was just bones and skin and the size of a 10 year old boy when he was the biggest broadest chested tallest man in the village. He had no teeth and he had no control of his jaw and I never knew if he was still conscious of the things that we going on around him because he could not respond. He must have been in so much pain because he was all sorts of sick but the health system in Vietnam is crap and so they just kept my Grandpa at home and sat him in a chair in the living room and at night he would be carried to bed and my Grandma would sleep next to him. Health System in vietnam makes me so so so angry.
He was supposed to die many times now but he never did and I thought that when he did it would be easy because we saw it coming but it's not and he's gone and I didn't want him to be gone I wanted him to be better so I could say hi, meet my husband, sorry I didn't say goodbye properly last time I saw you because they were rushing me to the airport you are the greatest grandpa ever.
My mum is going to Vietnam tomorrow.
