I teared up reading this. I know how special he was to you and how much it meant to you to be able to share time with him. I am so grateful you had the chance to live together and that Amira had time with him. I am sending so much love and thoughts your way. I wish I had something to say that could ease your pain even a little.
I'm so sorry for your loss and thank you for sharing your memories of him here. Those stories made me smile. He sounds like a wonderful man and he was so lucky to have such a caring granddaughter.
I'm so sorry. I know he was really special to you, and he was lucky to have you taking care of him and looking out for him, just like he took care of you. It was always evident how much you loved him and cared for him from your posts. ((hugs))
I'm so sorry. I didn't know him, but I'm willing to bet having you and Amira in his life each day brought him so much joy. Do not second guess yourself- you wanted him to be happy and comfortable, and you did your best to give him that.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. It sounds like he played a very important role in your life and you loved him dearly. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. ((Hugs))

I'm so sorry for your loss, he sounds like a great man who lived a wonderful life. He was very lucky to have you there to take care of him, much in the same way you were lucky to have him around in such a great capacity as a child.
My grandparents didn't live past my childhood, but I became close to my DH's grandparents when we moved to the same city and lived there for their last few years. I cherish the time we (and our children) spent with them at holidays and Sunday dinners, but a part of me will always wish we'd gotten to see them a bit more.
What beautiful sentiments. I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm sure he loved every moment of his life with you. Thinking of you and sending giant hugs. Losing a grandparent is so hard.
I am so sorry for your loss. He sounds like a wonderful man and you and your family sound like you had a very special relationship with him. Hugs to you and your family!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I am sure that to him, you did all the right things all the way to the very end. I think your home spa idea is nice and not moronic at all. He was very lucky to have you. ((Hugs))

I am so sorry for your loss. From reading your posts, it is so apparent how much you love and cared for him. Be kind to yourself in the next days, weeks, and months. Your grandpa was lucky to have you, your H, and your DD welcome him in your home and every day life. Sending lots of hugs.
