Passing through life

The other day my husband's grandfather passed away after being pulled off life support.  He had suffered a major heart attack a couple of days prior to his passing.  He had three major organs die all at once and he slipped into a coma.  The decision to pull him off life support was made and he went with ease. It's hard to imagine people die every day and people are born everyday.  You never know when someone you know will die.  I have been thinking about morality since that day.  What happens when you reach that moment of death.  Was he already gone when he went into a coma? Had he been trying to make that decision all along? To leave this life for another? Morality is not something I think about a lot.  I am healthy and happy.  My husband's grandmother and grandfather raised him from the time he was 12 years old.  Grandpa aka "Grumpy" was a hard headed man.  Deeply rooted in the way's he was raised.  My husband had a hard time relating to him.  It was unfortunate they never truly got along.  They would be civil but they never really understood each other.  I know in my heart though they loved each other in some way. Some way deep in their hearts they loved and cared about one another.  Grandpa used to call Jeromy(my husband) every other day.  Sometimes he would forget why and sometimes it was to complain Jeromy didn't do something.  Jeromy would always think of his grandpa when we would shop.  Always asking if he we should buy him a new coffee cup or a new cane.  He would bring grandpa food and near the end of his life grandpa had no idea what food he was eating.  He had become so blind and his taste buds giving into the test of time that he thought a KFC snacker was an Arby's roast beef sandwhich.  At first I thought he was kidding when he said "This roast beef is delicious" I felt bad when I told him he was not eating a roast beef sandwhich.  He looked sad like his sanity was slowly slipping away, but immediately made a joke about his age and that was that.  I had my own disagreements with the man but I always respected him in every way I could.  I will miss him, but I am glad he is now pain free and with his daughter flying high in the sky :)
