    My grandpa has cancer. The thing is that I hardly ever see him. He lives in New York (I live in Philly), and hardly every comes to visit me. The only time that I hear from him or see him is around Christmas time. It is like he isn't even a part of my life. When I found out the news I wasn't torn up or really upset. That is what is making me upset, is that I don't know him well enough to be sad when he has cancer. My other grandpa is a big part of my life, but I am not close to this GP at all. I am really sad. I am not sure if he is going to die though.

    Don't worry too much, most cancers can be contained and cured if found early. Call him and just talk to him though. I hope everything turns out good.:(

    Thanks. The weird thing is that everytime I see him I have a great time with him. He is really fun to be with, but he just isn't a great grandfather.

    That sucks TheReason. Is there anyway to get in touch with him more often? I hope things turn out okay.

    Not really. I see him at Christmas and maybe 1 or 2 other times during the year, but that is about it. He still works a lot.

    Both of my grandfathers died before I was born. Try to enjoy yours while you still have them.

    Prayers and condolences.

    Thanks. I doubt that he will die, but I am still upset that I don't feel very upset about the cancer.
