Like Lily and Stuff already know, my grandpa Manuel Ferreira passed away this monday. Died of a stroke at 2:30 PM US Central time. I'll use this timezone for the rest of the post.

Since the day I came back from my trip to London and the mainland, we've known he was suffering from stomach cancer. Doctors had given him one year left to live and we had accepted that that would be the cause of death. He was doing chemotherapy to try and last longer, but that made his heart become weaker.

Today, he was feeling really good, joking with everyone, telling us to fuck off and the likes. We figured that the chemo was starting to do some good so went to do our business we had to do today. At noon, I got a call to go home because he had suffered from something and was rushed to the hospital, no one saw it coming. His last words were to take care of his wife, due to the fact that she is a really sick woman and the shock about the cancer made her start losing her memory. Hiryu has a lot of maturing to do now that he's the man of the house.

Now, moving on from the pity seeking bit and the reason that motivates me to say what I'll say next.
I'm a pain in the ass, I'm an asshole, I have wild mood swings. Yet, you guys put up with all that crap. And for that... Thank you.
I love you all, I really do. Sure, I may not show it all the time but that's because I can only show so much. And mainly to women.
I want you all to be happy, live good lives and love each other. Enjoy every single moment you have with your relatives and cherish these memories forever.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa. He sounds like a great man.

I'm sorry for your loss. Everything else I wanted to add would just detract from that initial statement or make it seem insincere. Again, I'm sorry.

*hugs* I'm sorry for your loss

Actually, Hiryu. This is rather a good place to express thought and feeling. Much more than some other places here on Snafu and I understand totally what you are going through because I had been through it as well (in another way, mind you. but in a way the same, deaths in the family is particularly painful in all aspect). Take it easy man, I will always be here to talk if you need some one to talk with. <3

Sorry to hear about this. ):

I know this is risky (being internet and whatnot) but I'll post a photo of him for a couple of days.
It was one of the last photos we took of him. It was before he got diagnosed with cancer.
http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/4170 ... 703818.jpg (This is actually what I'll look like when I grow old)

I just came back from the funeral, the amount of people there was insane. Friends that we haven't seen in years, all of his co-workers, almost everyone we know from the street, my other grandparents and even my father (divorced parents that don't get along). And I have never, never seen so many people cry for someone. It moved me deeply.
The last thing he asked for while at home was a simple Ferrero Rocher. My grandma wouldn't shut up about how she didn't bring him one before the stroke, so I asked a friend that was coming to the funeral to buy a small box in the way. When he arrived, I showed it to my grandma and said "Well, he's still waiting for us to give him one" and placed the box inside the coffin. Bawling like a damn baby during the whole process, of course.

And thanks you guys, it means a lot to me. Even you, BR. I didn't like the idea of pulling an Onizaru, but I had to post this somewhere to get it outta the chest.
Now, to lighten the mood a little... Think I can use this for a pity fuck?

I'll fuck you pitifully, Hiryu.

My condolences, Hiryu. It's not easy losing a family member. As I've grown up, I've had to see my grandmothers from both sides of the family pass away (I never even knew either of my grandfathers, they both died before I was born). I still get tears in my eyes thinking about them, especially my grandmother on my mother's side. I was really close to her; she died when I was 13, and I'll always miss her. But she had a good life, and I'll always be glad that I knew her. I hope that's the same for your grandfather.
Remember, always look at the good times.

And shut up, you big softie. We know you're not an asshole really. <3

That sucks Hiryu. I've lost a grandpa too, and I'm really close to my remaining Grandpa as well, and the thought of loosing him... Well, I don't know what I would be able to do.

But you're a beast, Hiryu. Better than many of us here. I know that time will seem difficult for you, and you may be thinking about a lot of stuff, but we are always here for you, if you ever need to vent or talk to someone, we are always here.

Better than many of us? Man, you know how to give an ego boost. Thanks for wasting your short visit on this thread.Ohohohoh, you dog~!
You can say that, you've experimented it first hand. <3 I come to the conclusion that it's because your body is like one of my cousins, and I love hugging her to death. Can I hug you again? :D
And I'm very sorry for your loss too.

Sorry for your loss, but at least it sounds like you had a good relationship with him when he was around.

Well, since my parents are divorced he was a lot like a father. He was the man of the house and he taught me many things. Apparently one of those things is homemade engineering, 'cause the Ferreira family has the habit of making contraptions outta scrap metal.

...I would like to request a hug. For the novelty of it, I don't believe I've had one from you yet.

I think I've gotten one from Ali, and that be it.
