Apology.

Thanks to everyone who attended Grandpa's funeral,
and Thanks to those who visited him while he was still alive, as well.
I want to apologise to whoever i may have offended during the time of his passing.
I wasnt trying to stop people from visiting. I was just trying to limit the visitors.

To be honest with you, there was alot of people, who didnt even have the right to visit him,
Yet we welcomed them anyway. With no problem what-so-ever.
Because it wasnt our place to say who could or couldnt come.

Grandpa was a very loved, and highly respected man. My Grandfather didnt have enemies. Sure.. There was some people he wasnt very fond of. But Grandpa loved all, regardless.

But the thing's i had posted (on my mother's facebook) Was to remind people, that the facility he was living in wasnt just a place for visitation. It's a home, where other elderly people live.

This is exactly what i had written:
And mind you, I had not come up with this on my own.
It was a request from the family.

"They are limiting visitations to Grandpa now. 3 at a time. 10 minutes or less.
This is a NURSING HOME where people live, and the facility is saying there is to many people in and out of here.
Please respect.

^ This was not meant to offend.
And it was most definatly taken the wrong way.
Phone calls were being made,
and people was saying that *I SAID* they didnt want visitors, and bla bla bla.
And that is not what i said.

(and the other post i had posted, may have offended more than this one, but i was speaking the truth.... and if you cant handle the truth. it's only because of guilt. sorry but that's the truth too)

[The Bible Say's To SHINE LIGHT on the DARKNESS. And that to me, is exposing TRUTH, and FOOLISHNESS.] (and then YOU will KNOW the TRUTH and the TRUTH *WILL* set YOU free!)

Had you all been there the day Grandpa died..
You would have seen what my point was when i had posted the announcment of "3 people at a time, and 10 minutes or less" The day Grandpa died, there was complaints at the facility. The main guy of the place, told all of us, including family members, everyone there.....

That there was too many people in the place. He said.. Im going to be back in 30 minutes, and if your not gone in 30 minutes, im kicking yall out. He said get in and visit, and then leave... We all ended up getting a little nervous and scattered. Most of us were outside. And within 10 minutes...
Grandpa died. I didnt even get to be with my Grandfather when he died. And i really wanted to be. I've accepted the fact that i wasnt, and im fine with that.

Only Aunt Charity and the Hospice Nurse was present when he died.
But this could have all been prevented..... Had people been a little more respectful.
That's all i was trying to do... We were only trying to prevent something like that from happening.
It wasnt to stop/prevent visitors.. Grandpa would have loved to see everyone! Moreso had he been alive!

So i apologise ahead of time, to who-ever, got offended. It wasnt intended to offend anyone.
It's just.. Sometimes.. People forget about their surroundings, and kind of forget all about respect. And also, sometimes.... People no longer respect AUTHORITY. You know, we think.. Oh we can do whatever we want, however we want, we dont have to listen to anybody.
But that isnt how it should be.

[if you cannot respect man's law's, or your own parents law's, you will never be able to live for God.. because to live for God- you must live by his rules/commandments]

Grandpa was under the care of Hospice. Which was continually keeping him in a sleep, to save him from any pain, during his passing. And so many people were in and out of that place. In the room, talking, gossiping, being loud, and rude.

On top of not just Grandpa's head, but our's as well.
And not only ours, but the people who live there :(
And it was a little disrepsectful at times.

Hopefully... Next time.. People will have a little more respect. And understand..
That.. When watching a loved one die.. It's not fun and games and visitation time.
It's actually the most precious time you have left with the person you will never see again.
Untill of course we get to heaven.

It was a very........... Terrible......... Week for me.
But it's done and over.
And we cant go back.

But i pray next time,
Everyone will have compassion on the family members of a passing loved one.

It's nice to send love, and flowers, cards, phone calls, text messages,
And its nice to visit, for a little while and then leave.
But to stay hours upon hours,
And have no respect for anyone around you,
Especially the person dying.. Is just ridiculous.

It was a very unpleasent week for me.
Not only because of Grandpa dying.
But because of everything else around us too.

It was unfair.
But i guess that's just life eh?

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Once again, I apologise, If i offended anyone.
I was under a lot of stress.
And i was facing something i never imagined i'd ever face.
And i was just trying to keep our surroundings peaceful,
and keep respect, where it should have been.

Thankfully, Grandpa wasnt affected by anything :]
He died very peacefully.
Which i am so thankful to God for.
He breathed.... His last breathe.
And he passed.. Without struggle, or pain.
