Yes, my grandpa (I only really have... had one...) passed away on Friday. After I came back from senior project presentations and mom got back from work, we got a phone call from grandma and she said he'd passed away while in the care home. He was only 82.

My mom told me that he had sounded strong over the phone one time when she had talked to him, but when she went to visit him a week later, he didn't look like himself. He'd lost a lot of weight and there was food on the floor and flies flying around the covered plate of food on his tray. Not to mention the place smelled like urine. I only went once, myself, but while we were there, we had pressed the nurse call button and no one came to check until my mom actually went out and talked to someone. It seemed like the staff wasn't really taking as good of care of the people living there as they should.

They're doing an autopsy on grandpa before we do the funeral service so we know what really happened.

This just isn't right... I wish we could've gotten grandpa out of that place sooner, but things couldn't be arranged fast enough. But at least now he's in a better place. RIP grandpa... we all love you and really miss you...
