[tw death] incoming grief thread.

This morning, my grandfather passed away at 81 years old, having succumbed to an illness he was fighting for months on end. I was the only one present at home at the time of his death, and I was with him when he took his last breath, and I& #39;m glad he didn& #39;t have to die alone.

He was the most positive influence in my life; throughout all of the hardships I& #39;ve been through, he always made me happy, he always made me laugh, and he was one of very few people who accepted me for who I am, and he was one of the reasons why I& #39;m drawing to this very day.

May you rest in peace, grandfather; I& #39;ll always love you, I& #39;ll never forget you, and I can have solace knowing that you& #39;re not in pain anymore, because you didn& #39;t deserve any of it, because you were a great person and man.
