Similar moment with my wife's grandmother, who was dying from rapidly progressing dementia. She randomly had a moment of clarity and sang "Amazing Grace", she died about a month later.
LOL it's a Pink Floyd song. It's really short though, song might be kinda a misnomer, maybe more like an interlude? One of their most famous albums, The Wall, is also a movie of the same name. Both deal heavily with how the aftermath of WWII impacted Britons.

Always remember the Pink Floyd song that starts out "Does anyone here remember Vera Lynn. Remember the way she said 'We would meet again, some summer day'..."
Dude's dad must've been Syd Barrett.

I think OOP just meant, it wasn't a terminal illness or anything. It was just his time.
2 of my grandparents went the same way. Mentally they were just ready to go, so they did.
Most sympathetic atheist.
And before you say it, I’m an atheist too, it’s just I don’t feel the need to say anything when people talk about the afterlife for their own comfort.
Also being an atheist doesn't necessarily mean you are 100% certain there is no afterlife. It just means you're not a theist, i.e. you're unconvinced that a god/afterlife exists. I guess a lot of people would just call that agnosticism, but really those terms are not mutually exclusive. One can be an agnostic atheist, or an agnostic theist.
Edit: Why the downvotes lmao, it takes literally one google search to verify.
Agnosticism means you believe in some greater force, but not necessarily a (or several) sentient god(s)
Atheism means you believe this is all there is, no metaphysical thoughts about higher planes or karma or god or a form of heaven or whatever. There's no god/force that exists in the universe other than natural law
No, actually, that's not what those things mean. It may be the way they are used in a colloquial setting, but it just...isn't what the words mean. Atheism means you are not a theist (ie you are not convinced of the existence of god(s).) Agnosticism just means you think that whether or not a god exists is unknowable. A Christian that believes in god but believes it's impossible to know for certain whether or not god exists is, by definition, an agnostic.
Again, google will verify this. It isn't a crazy, radical concept.
If you think that you have a few screws loose. You said agnostics believe in some greater force but not necessarily a god. They said agnostics think that whether or not a god exists is unknowable.
misread this as "five years old" and i thought wow ooooollllllldddddd dad
Anons father was Pablo picasso
I was gonna say Abraham.
Same
Also same 😂 Edit: wanna make it clear the laughing is because so many people misread that line, not the content itself.
🤭 Yeah same here
Same here. Lmao.
[удалено]
Don't know where
Don't know when
But I know we'll meet again
Some sunny day
Keep smiling through
Just like you always do
‘Til the blue skies chase those dark clouds far away
So will you please say hello to the folks that I know?
Tell them you won't be long
OOP is like 60-70
69 to be exact
nice
But not yet, not yet...

o7
Ima do that with my kids when I die, except the song will be Friday by Rebecca Black
[удалено]
No there shouldn’t.
Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn? Remember how she said that we would meet again some sunny day?
Yeah.
This isn't the next line but it should have been
Hahahaha I could tell it was a bit of some kind but it was going over my head, what’s the reference?

this song is the only reason I know about Vera Lynn
It's not the only reason I knew of her but it was definitely how I first learned about her
Vera! Vera! What has become of you?
Does anybody else in here feel the way I do?
goddamit you made me cry

I've always wanted to have this be how I go out, ever since the first time I heard the song.
Fuck. I'm in tears.
I'll never forget the last phonecall I had with my grandfather. His last words to me were "I'll always love you."
A real boomer using 4chan? Good on him though, and hope him and pops meet up again.
>Nothing wrong with him. Then why is he in the hospital!? riddle me that
[удалено]
I also misread in the same way 😂 I guess we both can't read
What do you mean "nothing wrong with him" that's not how it works lmao
I think OOP just meant, it wasn't a terminal illness or anything. It was just his time. 2 of my grandparents went the same way. Mentally they were just ready to go, so they did.
I wish mine went the same. 3 of them went because of illness
Yeah, my other grandparents went from Illness. 😞
What do you mean “meet again”? He’s dead.
Syr to break this to you but that is not how death works....
If life transcends death Then I will seek for you there If not, then there too
This
Lots of personal experience?
Kinda, there are not many family members left that could die any more...

You literally just said what I said but in fewer words
If you think that you have a few screws loose. You said agnostics believe in some greater force but not necessarily a god. They said agnostics think that whether or not a god exists is unknowable.
WoW you really showed op, #iamverybadass
