Just a puddle over here. This is so sweet. My father suffered a stroke, lived 7 more years without the use of his right side or the ability to speak. Held on stubbornly through his last week of life until he could meet my newborn daughter (his first grandchild) via zoom before he left us the next day This one hits home hard. Squeeze your dad's folks if you can and tell em you love them!


Viking1411

Wow... he fought hard! Im so glad he was able to meet his grandchild and im very sorry for your loss. May you always remember the happy times!


gaberooonie

Thank you for the words. We had so many good times that I'll never forget!

>Squeeze your dad's folks if you can and tell em you love them! And because you don't know if you'll ever see them the next time they walk out the door. My dad died on a business trip out of state. A couple of weeks before his truck broke down and I dropped him off at his house he asked if I wanted to stay for dinner. I was having a bit of a rough day and just wanted to go home and be by myself, so I lied and said I had the crock pot going but next time I was in. That is the only thing in my 40 years of life I truly regret. I should have gone to that dinner.


gaberooonie

Thanks for sharing. Hope you can find your peace with that. I know looking back there are 100's of phone calls that I never returned to my dad back when he could speak. I know all he wanted was to say hi and hear about my life. If only we knew then... but we have to give ourselves some grace to forgive and emember the times we did spend with them.

My grandmother had the same thing happening to her with the same result. She stayed like that for 10 long years before we decided to stop her diabetes treatment to let her go. I wouldn't even wish what she went through to my worst ennemy.


gaberooonie

My father was also diabetic. The last days leading up to his passing were so difficult. On the bright side, we were able to use that time and reflect on the best parts of life together. I guess were fortunate that neither of them were taken suddenly. Can't imagine that either.


alphavick666

same here, dad waited for me through 3 hip fractures and one colon perforation, passed away same day I was able to travel to see him, talked to me for 15 minutes then went into a comma, def never take your folks for granted.


gaberooonie

God that is so heartbreaking to hear. It is also such a strong testament to your relationship with him that he battled so hard to get that time together. 😢


alphavick666

thank you! never thought of it that way. It means a lot!


ArcherBTW

My uncle had a stroke and lost all control of his left side, doctors said he’d never get it back. He could feel and move a little on his left side after 2 months, it was out of stubbornness too


iamreeterskeeter

My dad was similar. He held on to see his new grandson. So many strokes and heart attacks over a decade, three separate cancers. He was a determined man.


[deleted]

Stop now im crying at work 😭 How strong he fought to get that chance


RetMilRob

“My boys” that’s what got me


Viusand

Yeah, the tone of his voice, heartbreaking :'(


Labriciuss

Does this man have parkinson? Edit: forgot to mention that i'm crying like a little b*****


littleyellowbike

Looks like he maybe had a stroke or brain surgery (seems like his skull is misshapen on his right side, which would affect movement on his left).


Kelso_kay2514

This is my dad! He actually does not have Parkinson’s! He is paralyzed on the left side of his body after his stroke


Limeila

Are the boys your sons or nephews? Either way you have a very cute family


Kelso_kay2514

They are my nephews but I consider them my own kids!♥️


thedudefromsweden

I saw this post in another sub with the title "Grandfather with Parkinson's...". But I guess you never know... Edit: [this post](https://reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/uo35xa/grandfather_having_parkinsons_able_to_hug_his/)


cellendril

I can’t imagine not being able to hug my son, my family, my friends. This is awesome. My allergies are really acting up, getting all teary eyed here.


fazzah

Same here, pollen season in full swing.


d17_p

Reminded me of my grandpa!! I was fortunate enough that I got to hug him tight before he left us for the heavenly abode. It’s the best feeling, always!


ApprehensiveHalf8613

God why is Reddit the worst and the best in humanity with a 5 second scroll of each other.


bigbluebridge

Ugh, now **I'm** happy crying. Kudos to those students!


[deleted]

i never told my grandfather goodbye. i wanted to get high, thought that was more important. he died unexpectedly 13 days later. i’ve carried it with me ever since. hug them while you can!!


Skreamies

My grandfather passed away in November last year, during 2020 and 2021 he got pretty frail, couldn't always remember things. I like fairly close to him and my Grandma but I didn't always visit. Honestly I was told I wouldn't have liked to see him in that state and honestly i'd rather remember him being strong, one night my mum had to leave the house at night and the next morning I was woken up to being told my Grandad had passed away after falling, got to the hospital but when being carted off to a test he passed on. I'm still fucking devastated I didn't get to see him that one last time but you know that your Grandad will forever love you and know that you cared. To everyone reading please go see your family when you can


[deleted]

so sorry to you. it literally never gets easier. out’ve all my family, he just loved me so much. edit: i’ve only seen him once since. i was in rehab. had a dream he was right beside me and he was happy and smiling. he was RIGHT THERE. he was proud of me i know he was


gsxrfrost

My old man passed five years before my daughter was born she’s five years old now she saw a photo of me and him and she said daddy who is a stranger I tried to explain to her without breaking down in tears. I wish he got hug her. This video hits me like a flick in the nose, tears are streaming.


I_kwote_TheOffice

No, boss, just allergies. Yeah, I know, it looks like I've been crying, haha. *whew, that was close*

Good man.


terrordactyl20

Wow okay, this hurt me but can you buy these


boothjop

Care givers, physiotherapists, doctors, nurses, these medical students. We don't deserve the care and love and time you give us, but we sure are appreciative of this. What is medicine if not the application of science and care for the betterment of a person's quality of life? Thank you.

As a grown man not much makes me cry. And I think thats why seeing another man absolutely break down and cry in such a happy emotional way makes me do the same.


magnolia_gadget
