Grandad(a WW2 vet) had been in hospital the last 2 months. He had been asking to see me but being unvaxxed I was denied twice. They moved him to a nursing home but again, unvaxxed, I was not allowed to visit. Last week I colluded with my vaxxed aunt and with a diversion I snuck through the cracks and seen him. (I refuse to use the fake passport because I believe it would add value to it. Kinda like bitcoin.). Anyway, the Lord has shown him mercy and compassion and has taken him home. I’m having a few drinks and listening to his old music and stumbled across this one. This has been going on a long time. How are we the only ones awake to it? I felt the need to share. Thankyou for your time. WWG1WGA
Sorry for your loss and congrats on saying fuck them and seeing him.
Sorry for your loss.
Thankyou fren but it was merciful and timely. May we all receive the same compassion when our bodies fail.
Just to cheer you up, this reminds me of the old joke:
My granddad was a bus driver and died in his sleep - unlike his passengers who died screaming!
I'd use a somewhat stronger word than "shame".
I'm sorry that you had to say goodbye, but glad that you got to do it in person.
God bless you and comfort you. Glad to hear you were able to spend a few with him to say goodbye. Thanks to him and others in that great generation we able to be here now. It is nice that you can find some connection to him through the music of that generation. Thanks for sharing.
I was forced years ago to listen to that genre of music when I went to work with a colleague that had a small private practice. There was a local radio station at the time that played nothing but big band WW2 era music. I came to actually like it and now I have my own playlists of tunes from that era I enjoy listening to from time to time when I am in the mood - pun intended. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2aqHGaSxRI There is something hopeful and innocent woven within the music of that era that shows an optimism for the future despite the hardships of what they were living through. Definitely a different mindset that we could use a few lessons from. Take care fren.
