Cry My grandfather

I just spoke with my mom this morning she had just gotten off the phone with my grandfather and he told her that he could no longer see. Just light & dark and some shadows. We've known this was coming for the past 2 or 3 years. He has macular degenetration(sp) sorry I'm sure that is nowhere near right.

Anyway, he had to go to the eye doctor a month or so ago he had some bleeding in his good eye. They didn't do any treatment I don't know if they could or not.

He is in his mid to late 80's and he has been totally independent. We lost my grandmother to cancer 4 years ago, my dad almost 2 years ago. So now my mom will probably be moving in with him or him with her.

Even though we knew this was coming it's still hard. Sorry didn't mean to depress everyone today. Just needed to vent a little.
