We got back to Germany on Friday night.
My grandpa is very ill, but still hanging in there. We were originally told he had days to live, but a week later he’s still alive. My grandma is now sleeping in the hospital and my dad is spending as much time as possible there. Basically, it’s just a waiting game.
Thank you for all the well wishes that everyone has left on the blog. I will get round to replying to all the comments soon! But for now I will simply say you are all amazing.
I’m glad I got to see my grandpa and that he was alter enough to know we were there. I probably won’t make it over for the funeral, but I think seeing him one last time was more important to me. Saying goodbye on Friday was strange though… what do you say to someone when you know for a fact that you’ll never be seeing them again!? I guess this is where religious people have an advantage…
Normal blogging service will resume as soon as I have anything to say…
Confuzzledom 
Good to have you back, although you’d probably still rather be there.
Aren’t you entitled, via some employment law, to attend a close relative’s funeral??
I’m not sure about law. My boss probably would give me more time off, but I’m not sure I can afford another flight…
Nice to see you back. Hoping for as much positivity as you can get at the moment
SO bitter sweet. Saying goodbye is beyond hard and not being able to is impossibly hard too, who ever wants to say goodbye? Thinking of you x
Sending you big hugs. Hang on in there. xxx
Thank you!
Sorry to hear about your grandpa. Much love x
I know how hard this is. I am so sorry! I think I spent a week in a hospital when my Grandma was ill. It is so hard to say goodbye to somebody. But I am glad that you were able to visit your Grandpa. I am sure he knows that you were there and that you are thinking of him! I am sending you lots of love and I am thinking of you and your family! ❤
I’m glad you got to see your Grandpa and I’m glad that he was alert enough to know you were there. It’s awful to have to say goodbye like that. X
Sorry to hear about your grandpa and glad you go to see him again even if it must be tough being back and waiting for news. *virtual hugs*
As much as it’s an unpleasant situation, I am glad you got to see your Grandad. Mine has a similar situation where we were told he wouldn’t live past the weekend and he went on to live for 5 years after. I do believe that the doctors are not ALWAYS right and people can pull through and unexpected times. Even if he doesn’t, it is good to think you got to see him and he knows how much you care.
Thanks for the good wishes. Having seen him, I can’t see him lasting long, but they’ve now said he could go up and down like this for weeks. He’s bed-ridden and in pain though, so I hope for his sake it goes quick!
Sorry to hear about your grandpa. It’s a sad and difficult situation but it’s good that you got the chance to say goodbye x
I’m glad you got to see your grandpa and were able to say “good bye”! Hang in there! xoxo
I’m glad you got back in time to see your grandpa, and that he knew you were there. I hope he’s not in a lot of pain for a long time – that would be very distressing for everyone (including him).
Sorry I’m late with this – have been crazy busy…
I’m really glad you got to see your grandad. I lost my uncle the year before last and it really sucks being all the way over here because you want to be there as long as possible. I hope you get the chance to go back there when the time comes xx
