I know probably nobody or a few people may know but my Grandpa Liborio is really ill... Apparently he was diagnosed with cancer about 7 years ago but some of us just found out in the last year because he was being hospitalized but we were told why. Yesterday we went to see him because he had gotten really sick over night and in the morning he didn't know anybody but luckily for us by the time we went he was doing a lot better. He was joking around and asking my aunt to give him whisky... which just meant his drink. He was drinking orange juice and water. His humor for his condition was great... he had us laughing and even though we were all sad we had fun. But I guess last time around 11pm when he fell asleep well he fell asleep and until right now has not woken up. We went to see him today as well and he is just in a deep sleep. He is breathing hard and well my aunts and uncle keep wetting his mouth so it wont dry. But today he had no more food intake or even liquids. They wont even put the IV on him because it would only hurt him, I guess. My aunt told me his Kidneys have given out and is lungs are weak. She told me it's a few hours until he passes... but they are unsure. we just keep praying in his name that if he does pass... may he be in God's glory!

At this point we just don't want him to suffer anymore. He is in a lot of pain but I guess that is why the Lord may have put him in this deep sleep. To rest and relax. Like my uncle said ... If I was in this type of pain I would prefer to die. We all feel extremely down but the pain and change his body is rapidly going through is not fair. It was so hard being in the room with him without that tear escaping through my eye. I was still trying to avoid it but it's impossible. I don't know how to hold them. Then I see my grandma. She told me I am going to be alone. I am use to that if we go places we always go together. I told her to be strong. That she still has us but she said I know I still have all my kids and grandkids but I am going to be lonely without him. The positive thing she said was that after everything she would come and stay with us for a while. I was trying to get my grandparent to come to my house in the end of july. They wanted to come and see my mom on july 26... the day after she came out  of the hospital after her accident but my grandpa had a doctor's appointment friday and well since then they told him that he shouldn't go places anymore. They didn't have the opportunity to come anymore after that so we started to go and visit a little. I guess since then things have been down the hill... We've all had our lows and then even lower lows and we're just hoping that we don't hit too hard at rock bottom. I just hope grandma keeps her head up. I'm tired i'll write again later... sigh...
