Sam and I held my mother's hand as she held his and he took his last breath.

He was 89 and lived a full life and was ready and willing to go. We weren't close, but he loved the boys and smiled when he saw Sam. Seeing him actually go was more than I was prepared for.

I'm not really sure what the point is here, I guess I just wanted to 'say it out loud.'

Even when we're not close. Even when the person hasn't played a huge role in our lives and therefore won't leave a gaping hole. It's still a powerful, important experience to be there.

I've been in that situation and I never know quite what to feel. Blessings on your grandmother and family!

sorry for your loss and really seeing someone die is hard, regardless of the relationship. By the nature of my job I see a good number of people die and even though I don't know them it is still hard. Hugs to you all.

I lost mine long ago, but the pain is still there. My dad's dad was one of the best men I've ever known. How special that you will always remember how Sam made him smile and Sam will get to grow up knowing that. Hugs to you, momma!

Sorry for your loss. I think being at his side is very special. I was at my grandmother's side and I still feel so fortunate I was able to be there.
