My grandfather was a racist, bigoted bastard.

He had two strokes, and terminal cancer.

I took care of him for 2 years when he was bedridden, mostly because nobody else would.

As much of a prick as he was, seeing him there helpless as a baby, I couldn't feel anything but compassion.

One night I got up in the middle of the night to check on him. For some reason I held his hand and said "I love you gramps"(which I'd never done to anyone in my life) He stopped breathing at that moment and it was over.
I didn't feel sad at his passing, just an overwhelming feeling of release.
Death is only hard for the living.
