Internet Pariah hang in there rob things with get better. I pray for both u and your grandma. Take care and have Faith. Never stop believing. Luv from cali
It's okay, Rob. You focus on your Grandmother, and you focus on the Buffer Festival. My Grandma is 91 with dementia and still kicking. Whenever I go to see her, she constantly mistakes me for my auntie (her daughter). She isn't who she used to be. I can barely remember who she used to be. And you're right about dementia shielding them from it. My Grandad had dementia, or something similar, and he used to be a proud man, but when he got ill he lost that pride and gladly let other people wash him and clothe him. He wouldn't have allowed that if he had still been Grandad. It is difficult but knowing you, you'll come out the other side just as awesome and as sarcastic as ever ;). Hope you're alright x
Well Rob, if your grandmother does pass away just try to remember and cherish all of the memories you had with her. Trust me, I understand what you're going through, I've lost 2 of my grandparents in the last ten years and I agree with you it is not a fun experience. Hopefully, you'll be able to get through the times ahead on have the best possible future. Also, make sure that your children will always remember what an amazing person she. Good luck man. -Jonah
I'm sorry to hear, mate. Take as long as you need to sort yourself out. I'm sure we can live without WWYPTOTI for a little. Just take your time to handle everything. Hopefully your grandmother will hang in there. God bless.
***** Prerecording videos requires more time in advance to do more work than normal, to thus have more content pre-produced at a given time than normal. That's something you have to plan ahead with. But stuff like his grandmother having dementia isn't something you can 'plan' for.
***** Definitely possible. But then, wouldn't that just make more people upset that he wasn't producing content if he took a break to do that? Sounds like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't"' sort of situation to me. Maybe it could be done while making everyone happy, theoretically...but that would probably, yes, be hard. And if it's not that hard, why can you only find a single example of a person who can do it?
I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this. My grandma had something similar happen when she had cancer. She wasn't herself anymore after some time. Holding you in thought. Take it easy and hope you had a good week with your friends.
Because I have never experienced the death of a love one, I can't really say that I know how you feel, I can only assume this must be a terrible feeling. Maybe one of the worst feelings anyone can experience. But I just want to say that I am sorry that she has to go, but I think you should take the time to remember all the great times you've had with her. I'm sure she was an amazing woman, and wouldn't want you to destroy yourself over her death. But it also think you shouldn't give up hope. She is still alive, and there is still a chance you will keep on fighting.
I feel like Rob feels like we're pressuring him to make his series. Rob, you can take a break from vlogging/making videos for however long you want, we understand. If you don't feel like making a vide then don't do it, we're not pressuring you to make videos, I feel like you need a break.
I know how you feel, Rob. My grandfather is about 90 and on his death bed. He's dying of heart failure, but he has always been really close to me. Sending lots of love and support your way pal!
I hope I speak for all your subscribers when I say, take your time Rob and be there for your grandmother. we can watch some of the old vids while you're gone.
I stumbled upon this while watching some of Bob's videos. I was raised with both my grandparents and great grandparents, this was so touching. Just beautiful. 💚💚💚🌹🌹🌹💘
I'm so sorry. I know how you feel, I lost my grandmother earlier this year. She also had dementia. I wish I could help. Most of us, your fans, really do care about you and feel for you. "May the road rise up to great you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. The rain fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand."-an Irish Blessing.
Big Fish is one of the few movies that made me cry. It's so amazing. I can't even relate to it and it still gets me. I hope your grandmother lets everybody find peace within her death rather than agony.
Don't worry about your grandmother okay, God has one VERY beautiful place for her in heaven, but I know how you feel, losing a grandmother is extremely hard, but it's always nice to say, "you know what, she's going to a wonderful place, and she'll always be with me, watching over me" so she isn't entirely gone from your family's life :)
I'm sorry about your grandmother Rob. My dad died when he was 54, he had dementia too, but he also had six other conditions. He died last month on 9/11... that was quite a shitty day... I know it may not get easier right now, but like you said be grateful for what you have while you have it. Lots of love and support. -Jessica
Man. I was close to crying here dude. So sad. I think not only I but the whole fan base supports you right now. I lost one of my grandmothers when I was 2 years old. She died at age 55 and I don't remember much. But I do remember my great-grandfather. I was 8 and he died at age 83 and he was amazing. Everytime we came and I lost a teeth he would ask "have you been fighting again" and I still miss him till date. Also last year my mom was in critical condition in the hospital with a HB-level of 1,2 wich is only seen in people bleeding to death. She had a deadly low amount of vitamin B. She survived and now is back better then ever and I enjoy every second with her.
It's a hard thing when you know a loved one won't be around much longer. My grandmother lived til 96 she lived a good long life, wanted to just give to a great big hug watching this.
I'm really sorry to hear about your grandma, mine was on dialysis and decided to stop treatment when my grandpa died, she decided she wanted to be with him and it wasn't long until she was. It is never easy but it does get better- once you accept that they are where they want to be and are at peace it does get much easier. Sending you positive thoughts and prayers with your sweet grandma. It's hard but, in the end it always works out for the best
Rob, thank you for sharing such a personal part of your life with us. It shows your strength. My great uncle had dementia; watching his deterioration was devastating and even exhausting at times. You and your family are a great example of exactly how to deal with this situation; you're supportive and giving your elderly loved one the care and compassion she deserves. You already know this, but being there for her in the final stages of her life is vastly more important than pleasing any fan. By the way, the comments about your mother also exemplify a lot of character on your part. Stay strong! Sending warm thoughts your way!
I understand how you feel Rob, my grandfather had dementia before he passed a few years ago, I'm sorry you have to go through this, just know there are people that care and have gone through a similar phase.
This hits home with me. My grandfather was taken away from us like this. He was an amazing man. Take all the time you need. Enjoy these last moments with her. We understand.
So sorry that you're having to go through this. I've been through a similar situation with my grandmother. Will send positive energy and thoughts your way. Thinking of you and your family. No worries about the videos. We'll still be here.
88 years is a long time for a person to be around. I lost my mom at 46, here it is a year later and still haven't found her. Don't think of it as her being taken away its more like shes earned her rest. Shes more then done her part I mean hell if it wasn't for her you wouldn't be on RUclips with people trying to cheer you up. Folks die man don't feel sorry for her passing if anything feel bad about her living to the point of her mind going. People living passed their time is hard on everyone around them. I watched my mom brake down from the illness we both have... I hope she passes in her home, around family. Ya owe her that much.
Lost my grandmother a few years back. She was a huge part of my life and helped raise my brother and I. It's an awful thing to have to go through, but I hope you can find relief in knowing she'll be at peace.
Sorry for you're grandmother and she has lived a long life. And the fact that you even shared this was probably difficult. But it makes us appreciate those we still have.
My heart goes out to you and your family dude. My grandmother passed a few years back from complications due to Alzheimers-- it's a fucking terrifying disease, and in her case it "locked" her inside her brain. You could tell she was trying to make sense of shit, but her brain just wasn't working with her. I don't know you Rob, but a huge hug goes out to you buddy.
Rob, I'm so sorry to hear about you grandmother. I went through almost the same thing a year ago, and I know how it feels. Love you man, hope you get to feeling better soon. I'm sure she'll go peacefully like my great uncle did. She won't suffer. You're the best Rob, I support you!
Losing a loved one, especially a grandparent is really heartbreaking. Grandparents and their grandchildren share a special kind of bond... We love them and want them to be with us for every special moment in our lives - that makes it even harder when we see them suffering or loosing the will to go on. It is a very, very bittersweet feeling to confront yourself with the sadness of them no longer being here and at the same time knowing that it may bring some relief to their suffering. I lost my grandfather two years ago and there are still times when for a moment I think "oh, he'll like this or that - I should show him...". The connection we have with the ones we love can't be broken by death. Rob, I send you my warmest regards. Cherish every moment you have left with her and always celebrate the person she was and the life she lived - that way she'll always live on in your heart.
Aww rob :) you got such a big heart, I never knew. I can definitely relate to how you feel about your grandparents:) my grandma is my diamond in the rough...she's actually extremely healthy for her age :-) and I'm already worried about her going... and my grandpa has made a very good influence on my life and taught me a lot about how a good woman should be.. and instilled in me a sense of moral value:) he too is starting to lose his mind a little bit. now when he tells his amazing stories that make you think, and he kind of loses track of what is talking about sometimes:/ He used to be sharp as a tack.. in his words of inspiration can make anybody stand at attention with respect. it's a beautiful thing to be able to look at your grandparents and truly feel blessed.Sending good energy your way:) I know this is a tough time.. but you seem to be dealing with it in the best way possible:)
I'm sorry about your grandmother, as you said she's lived a long life. I'm glad you had her around for so long & I'm hoping for positivity for you & your family.
I am so sorry for your situation. Mine was similar, only my grandmother passed away from cancer in '93 and my grandfather lived until he was 86. He was my hero and my most favorite person in the world. He passed away last year from lung cancer (nonsmoker), and had a form of dementia. He had similar episodes. Though, there were times he thought I was my mother, who I look like. It is a hard thing to watch those you hold dearest go through things like that. I am sending good vibes and thoughts and hugs your way.
My heart goes out to you and your family with your post.. My Grandmother passed away from Dementia and my dad was in early stages of it before his murder and my favorite aunt also has it... It's hard not just for that person to go through it but hard as a family member to watch them go through it.. Prayers to you and stay strong...
I feel you Internet Pariah. Sometimes you can take your loved ones being fine for granted. You don't realize that your time with your loved ones is limited until they're gone. My grandpa was fine for 71 years of his life but then he got cancer and that was it. He was dead in a month. I was lucky to have a great grandma for my childhood years but she never visited much. One day she had a massive heart attack and was dead in hours. She was 86. I am happy that your grandmother lived until 88 but you always have to be ready for the end of all those happy times. Enjoy them before they're over.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, it's a terrible feeling to lose someone close. I'm not sure if it's better to hear from the doctors that it's soon, or when it comes out of nowhere but I hope you get through it okay. And also just remember, for every douche in the comments they are out numbered 1000-1 by your fans who support and adore you :). Enjoy your trip and thanks again for keeping us updated, even though it can't be easy doing it.
My heart goes out to you Rob. My great grandma went through the same thing, half the time she would think we were breaking into her house when we came to visit. At least your grandma remembers you and I think that makes it a little easier.
This video made me cry. I know how your feeling and what your going through Rob as my grandfather went through the exact same thing. All you can do is cherish the last precious days with your beautiful grandmother and always keep her and your memories of her forever in your heart. :'(
Im so sorry for your loss. I hope you are doing well, and are spending as much time with your grandmother while she is still here. She seemed to have lived a fulfilling 88 years and I like that you are grateful you have had her longer in your life than most people have had their grandparents. I send my deepest condolences to your family and will send my prayers your way.
My own grandmother at the moment is 89. She suffers only from high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and arthritis. I'm glad she's still here, but sometimes it's hard to watch her suffer.
Hang in there Rob. I was a caregiver for 3 aunts and an uncle. Dementia, stroke, Alzheimer's and age; all while raising two toddlers. And yes, the elderly "do" give up. Though we may see life as , worth the struggle, seniors sometimes get tired and worn down. We want our families whole and present. But, we have to know when to "let go". I still have guilt over a "quality of life" decision about the health and welfare of my mom. Feeding tube. I was selfish. I didn't want her to go. I didn't want anyone, I loved, to "leave me". Selfishness. Depression. Frustration. Guilt. Anger. The physical person is awol, but I love them still. As long as you live, your loved ones continue to exist. Grieve, sorrow and do what you need to heal your spirit. We're here and we have ...miles to go and...promises to keep. Breathe deep, breathing is paramount.
There will always inevitably be two or three jackasses that will troll videos like this or bitch and moan on your other social network outlets. At the end of the say, fuck them Rob! I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and in my heart. I lost my grandmother two years ago (November 1st will make 2 years) and it is extremely difficult... even when you see it coming. Please take care of yourself and know that there are fans that don't just care about your content. We also care about you as a fellow human being with emotions and family, etc. Once again, sorry about your grandmother. I'm sure she is super proud of you!
I lost my Grandad when I was 4 and my grandma when I was 12. It was really hard at such a young age. I'm 15 now. I hope for the best Rob, amazing guy, and I expect your grandmother is a wonderful person aswell! Push through this Rob. Cherish those best moments you had.
Sorry to hear that rob, never easy when family members go through stuff like this. My grandma also has dementia, but she's at that point where she thinks she's younger than she is. It's not easy seeing them go through that.
Wow. Big fish is one of my favourite movies too, and it reminds me of my dad, who passed away 10 years ago. I hope you'll still have time to enjoy your grandma's presence, but know that people who make an impact in our lives like that never really leave.
Wish your grandmother the best, hope she pulls through. I know what your going through both of my grand parents recently had heart attacks so I feel your pain man. Wish you all the best.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother and about those idiots who really have no sense of others or compassion. Stay strong, enjoy the time with her while you still have it. Every day is a gift and I wish you nothing but the very best .
My grandmother had something similar. She's passed now, but we will always have those lovely memories. I think it's best in a way, because it was very hard for everyone to see. But you're right the condition was very good about shielding her also. Ignore rude nasty comments, you're a great person Rob!
I definitely know the feeling. I live with and take care of my 83 year old grandma who has vascular dementia (she has heart problems from smoking almost her whole life). And my grandfather pasted away over 20 years ago as well, but I never really knew him. I know it's really hard, but we're here for you. The true fans/subscribers care more about your well being then your upload schedule.
I know this is from 2014, but I understand your pain Rob. My mother passed away on the ninth of this month. Today was the hardest Christmas ever. But you should know this: you are one of the few guys on RUclips who tell it like it is. I spent today watching "Why did you put that on the internet?" because I needed the laughs. It helped for a bit. Thanks for being you.
I'm sorry to hear about your Grandma. Both of my grandparents have alzheimers and are very frail, it's not nice seeing them like that. I hope you get to spend a lot of time with her, the memories you have can be cherished forever.
Rob, I am so sorry that you are going through this situation. I agree with you about Big Fish. I lost my grandmother thirty-two years ago. I still miss her, but I still have my memories and it's almost like she's here when the family gets together and her stories come up. Know that you are so loved by your true fans and that we are here for you, man. Make sure to have fun in Canada.
Sending much love and caring thoughts for you and your family. I lost my Mum at 23, and my only advice is, love and hug them whilst you can. I have no other family and never knew my Grandparents or my Father, so go give your beautiful Grandma many hugs. Xxx
its never easy to lose someone who's been in ur life from the get go, i'm sure if ur grandma could have could seen that video, she would be proud of you! and appreciate the respect you have for her! be strong through these tough times! lots of love from this irish viewer xxxx
My great-grandparents suffered from dementia at this level, and at one point my great-grandma thought my grandma (her daughter) was actually her twin sister. It's tough,and I cried like crazy the day she forgot who I was. Your family is incredibly strong to be able to care for her at home. I'll be thinking of you and your family during this time, Rob.
Sorry to hear that man. I lost a grandma earlier this week. Attended her service Saturday, then found out later that day that a former roommate was killed in a car accident. Life gives us some heavy blows, but all we can do is enjoy the time we have. It sucks though at times, that's for sure.
It is incomprehensible to me how people can respond to you in such a demanding manner. You have a life and things happen. Even if it were for the buffer it shouldn't matter one week. I'm so sorry you are going through this, all my love to you and your family, I can relate completely. Enjoy the time you have with her, these last moments are precious. I wish my Grandmother could of been around to see me marry and have my daughters, but I know she would of been so proud of me and she will always be in my heart. Sending all my love.
Aww Rob, im so sorry to hear about your grandmother. As someone who recently lost my grandma from a disease, i know it is hard to watch her go through this. please try your best to be there for her as much as you can and if that means that you need a break from your shows your "real" fans/subscribers will understand. I'm also sorry to hear about the jerks on your fb page, they obviously are to selfish to understand that you are a real person with a life. Thank you for opening up about your grandmother, i know that must have been difficult to talk about. Forever and Always Malena
I am so sorry Rob. I understand what you are going through. Although I was 13 years old at the time, and was dealing with some medical problems myself, I remember when my father's mother was suffering from dementia. It's very hard for both the person undergoing dementia and their loved ones. I remember when I would come back from the doctor's office and my Dad would tell me things that were going on with my grandmother very similar to what you said. It is heartbreaking to see and heartbreaking to loose whoever has this. I send you my support and love, be strong...
I'm 16.5 and my grandmother is around the same age and suffers from the same condition. There are good days, but most are bad. Those days she doesn't even get out of bed...
I am sorry to hear that Rob. I am thinking of you and your family. I have also lost all three of the grandparents I knew and i know exactly how your feeling right now. Part of you wants her suffering to end but part of you doesn't want to let her go. It is a tough situation to be in. All I can tell you is cherish the time you have with her and remember her for the great woman she was and the awesome grandmother she was.
Cherish everyday with your family while you can. Sometimes the world works in strange ways and those people could be gone the next day. I recently lost my 24 year old cousin to cancer over night. He was my best friend and co-worker. I miss him everyday. I hope you spend as much time with your grandmother as you can. Sorry to hear about her condition. Sending positive vibes your way Rob.
I'm so sorry Rob. I know exactly how you feel. My grandmother had demensia and was very violent and had to be on medication that kept her calm and pretty mch stopped her from living like a true person. She couldn't remeber, or feel, or do anything by herself for so many years before she died in her late sixties. I'm glad you got to spend a lot of time with your Grandmother, and I hope you feel better soon.
Sendings lots of love your way! I know how you feel about your grandmother. I went through that almost two years ago. I feel the same way, it hit me hard when it sunk in that she won't be there to see me get married or have kids. Cherish every moment!
I am sorry to hear about your grandmother. I live with mine and she's 94 and when ever she gets sick it scares me to death. Hopefully Rob she will be fine but I find that grandmothers need to feel as if they are needed. Mine will repeat the same stories over and over again. I have heard her stories 20 to 50+ times now and always listen and nod and say "uh huh". She always tells me what I should do. But listening to her say this makes her feel good. The best thing right now, is to spend time with your grandmother, show her how important she is to you, which I am sure you do. As you said she raised "a great mom" that led to a great you. Show her some videos on youtube like nice animal compilations. Those make my grandmother laugh when she sees a deer and a dog living happily or cats that rule dogs. I hope everything goes well for your grandmother for you and your mother. It is not easy when things like this happen. Have a nice weekend Rob, and take care.
Oh rob. I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a big hug. I know it is hard but because you have gave it serious thought it will help. It won't take the hurt away. You are wrong though about her not being there for your children because she will live on through the memories you have of her. And the memories your mother has of her. I worked Alzheimer and dementia care as one of my first jobs when I was younger it is shocking and emotional. Sad some night and fun others. I had one woman who spoke 7 languages but because of the dementia she would speak them all at once. And she always gave me a big hug when I would do my rounds thinking I was her daughter. Another would occasionally become lucid and ask us to end her life. It is a terrible disease and unfortunately no cure. Just remember you aren't the only ones trying to struggle through with this, and it sounds like she has had the most wonderful. Much love Rob. Do what you can and people who have been there will understand and those that don't well....that's the reason for the safety labels isn't it?
Rob, I understand what you're going through, My oma or great grandma was 93 when she passed and it was awful. She was the only blood related family I had, She was the strongest woman in my family and she also suffered from dementia. It was so hard to watch this woman that I knew for so many years become someone I didn't know it all. It really took a toll on me and I have this fear of death and time moving too fast. Rob, I don't know you personally but I can tell you're a strong,sensitive person able to see the good in the bad and everything will be ok. Sending positive energy and love to you and your family.
Your fans are here for you Rob. I understand what you're going through, I live with my grandparents and they're both showing early signs of dementia. I hope your family the best.
Sending positive vibes your way. I've had the unfortunate luck and have lost most people close to me, so I completely understand the feelings your going through. Take as much time as you need before coming back just to make sure you and your family have been able to deal with all the different levels of grief. May your grandmother find peace and her spirit be reunited with your grandfather so they can watch you live your life together. 🌠
Thinking of you at this sad time, Rob. I'm not going to even comment about those who gave you a hard time for not getting videos uploaded "on time". You put a lot of hard work into these videos and you've shared your life with others. I hope you can enjoy the time you have left with your Grandma. You'll always have my support
Hey rob, very sorry to hear about your grandmas condition. Hope you can still enjoy your moments with each other.
Thank you HellthyJunkFood
Internet Pariah hang in there rob things with get better. I pray for both u and your grandma. Take care and have Faith. Never stop believing. Luv from cali
Internet Pariah My grandma is going through the same, doesn't know who I am anymore :/ I hope you're doing well
It's okay, Rob. You focus on your Grandmother, and you focus on the Buffer Festival. My Grandma is 91 with dementia and still kicking. Whenever I go to see her, she constantly mistakes me for my auntie (her daughter). She isn't who she used to be. I can barely remember who she used to be. And you're right about dementia shielding them from it. My Grandad had dementia, or something similar, and he used to be a proud man, but when he got ill he lost that pride and gladly let other people wash him and clothe him. He wouldn't have allowed that if he had still been Grandad. It is difficult but knowing you, you'll come out the other side just as awesome and as sarcastic as ever ;). Hope you're alright x
You and your family are quite the inspiration. :3
Well Rob, if your grandmother does pass away just try to remember and cherish all of the memories you had with her. Trust me, I understand what you're going through, I've lost 2 of my grandparents in the last ten years and I agree with you it is not a fun experience. Hopefully, you'll be able to get through the times ahead on have the best possible future. Also, make sure that your children will always remember what an amazing person she. Good luck man.
-Jonah
Lol
Frozzen Focus Rob shared something personal with us and then this guy shared something real with Rob and you write Lol - you're clearly a jackass
Frozzen Focus People like you make me sick.
I've lost 1 grandparent and 2 uncles in the last 3 years it sucks
My mother died three months ago, and I'm depressed like a little bitch
I'm sorry to hear, mate. Take as long as you need to sort yourself out. I'm sure we can live without WWYPTOTI for a little. Just take your time to handle everything. Hopefully your grandmother will hang in there. God bless.
Gosh I hate fans that take granted that RUclipsrs can always deliver videos no matter what happens in their life "because it's their jobs".
***** Prerecording videos requires more time in advance to do more work than normal, to thus have more content pre-produced at a given time than normal. That's something you have to plan ahead with. But stuff like his grandmother having dementia isn't something you can 'plan' for.
*****
It cheapens the quality of the overall content of the rest of the videos.
***** Definitely possible. But then, wouldn't that just make more people upset that he wasn't producing content if he took a break to do that? Sounds like a "damned if you do, damned if you don't"' sort of situation to me.
Maybe it could be done while making everyone happy, theoretically...but that would probably, yes, be hard. And if it's not that hard, why can you only find a single example of a person who can do it?
I'm so sorry you and your family are going through this. My grandma had something similar happen when she had cancer. She wasn't herself anymore after some time. Holding you in thought. Take it easy and hope you had a good week with your friends.
Because I have never experienced the death of a love one, I can't really say that I know how you feel, I can only assume this must be a terrible feeling. Maybe one of the worst feelings anyone can experience. But I just want to say that I am sorry that she has to go, but I think you should take the time to remember all the great times you've had with her. I'm sure she was an amazing woman, and wouldn't want you to destroy yourself over her death. But it also think you shouldn't give up hope. She is still alive, and there is still a chance you will keep on fighting.
I feel like Rob feels like we're pressuring him to make his series. Rob, you can take a break from vlogging/making videos for however long you want, we understand. If you don't feel like making a vide then don't do it, we're not pressuring you to make videos, I feel like you need a break.
I know how you feel, Rob. My grandfather is about 90 and on his death bed. He's dying of heart failure, but he has always been really close to me. Sending lots of love and support your way pal!
My grandma suffered the same thing. It's heartbreaking when your grandma doesn't remember the man she has been married to for 65 years.
"She's done more than her part". That is a beautiful statement and tribute.
I hope I speak for all your subscribers when I say, take your time Rob and be there for your grandmother. we can watch some of the old vids while you're gone.
Just hang in there Rob my grandma last year past away. I just remembered all the joyful moments I'll pray for you Rob and your family
stay strong....forget the haters
this poor guy has to put up with that stuff some people think that the world goes around them keep strong buddy hope every thing works out man
I stumbled upon this while watching some of Bob's videos. I was raised with both my grandparents and great grandparents, this was so touching. Just beautiful. 💚💚💚🌹🌹🌹💘
I'm so sorry. I know how you feel, I lost my grandmother earlier this year. She also had dementia. I wish I could help. Most of us, your fans, really do care about you and feel for you. "May the road rise up to great you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. The rain fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand."-an Irish Blessing.
Keep strong man, you could leave for a year and we'd still be here when you come back, my thoughts are with you and your family.
Big Fish is one of the few movies that made me cry. It's so amazing. I can't even relate to it and it still gets me. I hope your grandmother lets everybody find peace within her death rather than agony.
Don't worry about your grandmother okay, God has one VERY beautiful place for her in heaven, but I know how you feel, losing a grandmother is extremely hard, but it's always nice to say, "you know what, she's going to a wonderful place, and she'll always be with me, watching over me" so she isn't entirely gone from your family's life :)
I'm sorry about your grandmother Rob. My dad died when he was 54, he had dementia too, but he also had six other conditions. He died last month on 9/11... that was quite a shitty day... I know it may not get easier right now, but like you said be grateful for what you have while you have it. Lots of love and support.

I'm very sorry to listen this: it's so sad. A big hug, Rob, and best wishes to your nona. Keep going.
Many prayers and hugs to you, Rob and your Grandma
Damn rob i'm sorry about your grandmother man i'll keep you and your family in my prayers man i'm sorry
Man. I was close to crying here dude. So sad. I think not only I but the whole fan base supports you right now.
I lost one of my grandmothers when I was 2 years old. She died at age 55 and I don't remember much. But I do remember my great-grandfather. I was 8 and he died at age 83 and he was amazing. Everytime we came and I lost a teeth he would ask "have you been fighting again" and I still miss him till date.
Also last year my mom was in critical condition in the hospital with a HB-level of 1,2 wich is only seen in people bleeding to death. She had a deadly low amount of vitamin B. She survived and now is back better then ever and I enjoy every second with her.
It's a hard thing when you know a loved one won't be around much longer. My grandmother lived til 96 she lived a good long life, wanted to just give to a great big hug watching this.
I'm really sorry to hear about your grandma, mine was on dialysis and decided to stop treatment when my grandpa died, she decided she wanted to be with him and it wasn't long until she was. It is never easy but it does get better- once you accept that they are where they want to be and are at peace it does get much easier. Sending you positive thoughts and prayers with your sweet grandma. It's hard but, in the end it always works out for the best
Rob, thank you for sharing such a personal part of your life with us. It shows your strength. My great uncle had dementia; watching his deterioration was devastating and even exhausting at times. You and your family are a great example of exactly how to deal with this situation; you're supportive and giving your elderly loved one the care and compassion she deserves. You already know this, but being there for her in the final stages of her life is vastly more important than pleasing any fan. By the way, the comments about your mother also exemplify a lot of character on your part. Stay strong! Sending warm thoughts your way!
I understand how you feel Rob, my grandfather had dementia before he passed a few years ago, I'm sorry you have to go through this, just know there are people that care and have gone through a similar phase.
This hits home with me. My grandfather was taken away from us like this. He was an amazing man. Take all the time you need. Enjoy these last moments with her. We understand.
So sorry that you're having to go through this. I've been through a similar situation with my grandmother. Will send positive energy and thoughts your way. Thinking of you and your family. No worries about the videos. We'll still be here.
88 years is a long time for a person to be around. I lost my mom at 46, here it is a year later and still haven't found her. Don't think of it as her being taken away its more like shes earned her rest. Shes more then done her part I mean hell if it wasn't for her you wouldn't be on RUclips with people trying to cheer you up. Folks die man don't feel sorry for her passing if anything feel bad about her living to the point of her mind going. People living passed their time is hard on everyone around them. I watched my mom brake down from the illness we both have... I hope she passes in her home, around family. Ya owe her that much.
Lost my grandmother a few years back. She was a huge part of my life and helped raise my brother and I. It's an awful thing to have to go through, but I hope you can find relief in knowing she'll be at peace.
Sorry for you're grandmother and she has lived a long life. And the fact that you even shared this was probably difficult. But it makes us appreciate those we still have.
I feel for you Rob. It has been 12 years since I lost my grandparents and miss them. Sending positive thoughts your way...
My heart goes out to you and your family dude. My grandmother passed a few years back from complications due to Alzheimers-- it's a fucking terrifying disease, and in her case it "locked" her inside her brain. You could tell she was trying to make sense of shit, but her brain just wasn't working with her.
I don't know you Rob, but a huge hug goes out to you buddy.
Rob, I'm so sorry to hear about you grandmother. I went through almost the same thing a year ago, and I know how it feels. Love you man, hope you get to feeling better soon. I'm sure she'll go peacefully like my great uncle did. She won't suffer. You're the best Rob, I support you!
Losing a loved one, especially a grandparent is really heartbreaking. Grandparents and their grandchildren share a special kind of bond... We love them and want them to be with us for every special moment in our lives - that makes it even harder when we see them suffering or loosing the will to go on. It is a very, very bittersweet feeling to confront yourself with the sadness of them no longer being here and at the same time knowing that it may bring some relief to their suffering. I lost my grandfather two years ago and there are still times when for a moment I think "oh, he'll like this or that - I should show him...". The connection we have with the ones we love can't be broken by death. Rob, I send you my warmest regards. Cherish every moment you have left with her and always celebrate the person she was and the life she lived - that way she'll always live on in your heart.
Aww rob :) you got such a big heart, I never knew. I can definitely relate to how you feel about your grandparents:) my grandma is my diamond in the rough...she's actually extremely healthy for her age :-) and I'm already worried about her going... and my grandpa has made a very good influence on my life and taught me a lot about how a good woman should be.. and instilled in me a sense of moral value:) he too is starting to lose his mind a little bit. now when he tells his amazing stories that make you think, and he kind of loses track of what is talking about sometimes:/ He used to be sharp as a tack.. in his words of inspiration can make anybody stand at attention with respect.
it's a beautiful thing to be able to look at your grandparents and truly feel blessed.Sending good energy your way:) I know this is a tough time.. but you seem to be dealing with it in the best way possible:)
I've been through the same thing to with my grandma. It was the saddest thing when she passed away. we're with you rob.
I'm sorry about your grandmother, as you said she's lived a long life. I'm glad you had her around for so long & I'm hoping for positivity for you & your family.
I am so sorry for your situation. Mine was similar, only my grandmother passed away from cancer in '93 and my grandfather lived until he was 86. He was my hero and my most favorite person in the world. He passed away last year from lung cancer (nonsmoker), and had a form of dementia. He had similar episodes. Though, there were times he thought I was my mother, who I look like. It is a hard thing to watch those you hold dearest go through things like that. I am sending good vibes and thoughts and hugs your way.
Also, family and YOUR well-being will always come first. There are many of us who understand and don't hold anything against you. 💖
My heart goes out to you and your family with your post.. My Grandmother passed away from Dementia and my dad was in early stages of it before his murder and my favorite aunt also has it... It's hard not just for that person to go through it but hard as a family member to watch them go through it.. Prayers to you and stay strong...
My thoughts and love are with you and your family, Rob. Less than three, sweetie.
I feel you Internet Pariah. Sometimes you can take your loved ones being fine for granted. You don't realize that your time with your loved ones is limited until they're gone. My grandpa was fine for 71 years of his life but then he got cancer and that was it. He was dead in a month. I was lucky to have a great grandma for my childhood years but she never visited much. One day she had a massive heart attack and was dead in hours. She was 86. I am happy that your grandmother lived until 88 but you always have to be ready for the end of all those happy times. Enjoy them before they're over.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, it's a terrible feeling to lose someone close. I'm not sure if it's better to hear from the doctors that it's soon, or when it comes out of nowhere but I hope you get through it okay. And also just remember, for every douche in the comments they are out numbered 1000-1 by your fans who support and adore you :). Enjoy your trip and thanks again for keeping us updated, even though it can't be easy doing it.
My heart goes out to you Rob. My great grandma went through the same thing, half the time she would think we were breaking into her house when we came to visit. At least your grandma remembers you and I think that makes it a little easier.
This video made me cry. I know how your feeling and what your going through Rob as my grandfather went through the exact same thing. All you can do is cherish the last precious days with your beautiful grandmother and always keep her and your memories of her forever in your heart. :'(
Hi Rob, sendin positive vibes your way
Keep your head up rob, I've gone through the same thing, and I know it isn't easy. Wishing u and your grandma nothing but the best man
Hope she gets better man. Much respect to you, brother.
Im so sorry for your loss. I hope you are doing well, and are spending as much time with your grandmother while she is still here. She seemed to have lived a fulfilling 88 years and I like that you are grateful you have had her longer in your life than most people have had their grandparents. I send my deepest condolences to your family and will send my prayers your way.
My own grandmother at the moment is 89. She suffers only from high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and arthritis. I'm glad she's still here, but sometimes it's hard to watch her suffer.
Sucks to hear about your grandmother. It's never easy losing anyone. I still cry about losing my Nana and she passed 11 years ago. Stay strong, dude.
Hang in there Rob. I was a caregiver for 3 aunts and an uncle. Dementia, stroke, Alzheimer's and age; all while raising two toddlers.
And yes, the elderly "do" give up. Though we may see life as , worth the struggle, seniors sometimes get tired and worn down.
We want our families whole and present. But, we have to know when to "let go".
I still have guilt over a "quality of life" decision about the health and welfare of my mom. Feeding tube. I was selfish. I didn't want her to go. I didn't want anyone, I loved, to "leave me".
Selfishness. Depression. Frustration. Guilt. Anger.
The physical person is awol, but I love them still. As long as you live, your loved ones continue to exist.
Grieve, sorrow and do what you need to heal your spirit. We're here and we have ...miles to go and...promises to keep.
Breathe deep, breathing is paramount.
I went through the same thing you are going through . Take the time you need .
There will always inevitably be two or three jackasses that will troll videos like this or bitch and moan on your other social network outlets. At the end of the say, fuck them Rob! I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and in my heart. I lost my grandmother two years ago (November 1st will make 2 years) and it is extremely difficult... even when you see it coming. Please take care of yourself and know that there are fans that don't just care about your content. We also care about you as a fellow human being with emotions and family, etc. Once again, sorry about your grandmother. I'm sure she is super proud of you!
I lost my Grandad when I was 4 and my grandma when I was 12. It was really hard at such a young age. I'm 15 now. I hope for the best Rob, amazing guy, and I expect your grandmother is a wonderful person aswell! Push through this Rob. Cherish those best moments you had.
The same thing happened to my grandma last week. I'm so sorry for your grandma's condition.
Sorry to hear that rob, never easy when family members go through stuff like this. My grandma also has dementia, but she's at that point where she thinks she's younger than she is. It's not easy seeing them go through that.
Im not a very emotional person, but you play the ending to big fish and i WILL cry.
Wow. Big fish is one of my favourite movies too, and it reminds me of my dad, who passed away 10 years ago. I hope you'll still have time to enjoy your grandma's presence, but know that people who make an impact in our lives like that never really leave.
Wish your grandmother the best, hope she pulls through. I know what your going through both of my grand parents recently had heart attacks so I feel your pain man. Wish you all the best.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother and about those idiots who really have no sense of others or compassion. Stay strong, enjoy the time with her while you still have it. Every day is a gift and I wish you nothing but the very best .
My grandmother had something similar. She's passed now, but we will always have those lovely memories. I think it's best in a way, because it was very hard for everyone to see. But you're right the condition was very good about shielding her also.
Ignore rude nasty comments, you're a great person Rob!
I definitely know the feeling. I live with and take care of my 83 year old grandma who has vascular dementia (she has heart problems from smoking almost her whole life). And my grandfather pasted away over 20 years ago as well, but I never really knew him.
I know it's really hard, but we're here for you. The true fans/subscribers care more about your well being then your upload schedule.
I know this is from 2014, but I understand your pain Rob. My mother passed away on the ninth of this month. Today was the hardest Christmas ever.
But you should know this: you are one of the few guys on RUclips who tell it like it is. I spent today watching "Why did you put that on the internet?" because I needed the laughs. It helped for a bit.
Thanks for being you.
I'm sorry to hear about your Grandma. Both of my grandparents have alzheimers and are very frail, it's not nice seeing them like that. I hope you get to spend a lot of time with her, the memories you have can be cherished forever.
Rob, I am so sorry that you are going through this situation. I agree with you about Big Fish. I lost my grandmother thirty-two years ago. I still miss her, but I still have my memories and it's almost like she's here when the family gets together and her stories come up. Know that you are so loved by your true fans and that we are here for you, man. Make sure to have fun in Canada.
Sending much love and caring thoughts for you and your family. I lost my Mum at 23, and my only advice is, love and hug them whilst you can. I have no other family and never knew my Grandparents or my Father, so go give your beautiful Grandma many hugs. Xxx
We love you Rob. Heart goes out to you and your family.
its never easy to lose someone who's been in ur life from the get go, i'm sure if ur grandma could have could seen that video, she would be proud of you! and appreciate the respect you have for her! be strong through these tough times! lots of love from this irish viewer xxxx
My great-grandparents suffered from dementia at this level, and at one point my great-grandma thought my grandma (her daughter) was actually her twin sister. It's tough,and I cried like crazy the day she forgot who I was. Your family is incredibly strong to be able to care for her at home. I'll be thinking of you and your family during this time, Rob.
Sorry to hear that man. I lost a grandma earlier this week. Attended her service Saturday, then found out later that day that a former roommate was killed in a car accident. Life gives us some heavy blows, but all we can do is enjoy the time we have. It sucks though at times, that's for sure.
Be strong Rob, don't listen to those haters. Keep those proud feelings for your grandmother close, so that you never forget how awesome she is.
It is incomprehensible to me how people can respond to you in such a demanding manner. You have a life and things happen. Even if it were for the buffer it shouldn't matter one week. I'm so sorry you are going through this, all my love to you and your family, I can relate completely. Enjoy the time you have with her, these last moments are precious. I wish my Grandmother could of been around to see me marry and have my daughters, but I know she would of been so proud of me and she will always be in my heart. Sending all my love.
Sending hugs and prayers your way, Rob.
You're in my thoughts buddy. Hope things get easier for you.
God bless her
Aww Rob, im so sorry to hear about your grandmother. As someone who recently lost my grandma from a disease, i know it is hard to watch her go through this. please try your best to be there for her as much as you can and if that means that you need a break from your shows your "real" fans/subscribers will understand. I'm also sorry to hear about the jerks on your fb page, they obviously are to selfish to understand that you are a real person with a life. Thank you for opening up about your grandmother, i know that must have been difficult to talk about.
Forever and Always
Malena
I am so sorry Rob. I understand what you are going through. Although I was 13 years old at the time, and was dealing with some medical problems myself, I remember when my father's mother was suffering from dementia. It's very hard for both the person undergoing dementia and their loved ones. I remember when I would come back from the doctor's office and my Dad would tell me things that were going on with my grandmother very similar to what you said. It is heartbreaking to see and heartbreaking to loose whoever has this. I send you my support and love, be strong...
I'm 16.5 and my grandmother is around the same age and suffers from the same condition. There are good days, but most are bad. Those days she doesn't even get out of bed...
I am sorry to hear that Rob. I am thinking of you and your family. I have also lost all three of the grandparents I knew and i know exactly how your feeling right now. Part of you wants her suffering to end but part of you doesn't want to let her go. It is a tough situation to be in. All I can tell you is cherish the time you have with her and remember her for the great woman she was and the awesome grandmother she was.
Sorry to hear this, it must be hard to go through all of that. Hope you get through it alright. Good luck.
Cherish everyday with your family while you can. Sometimes the world works in strange ways and those people could be gone the next day. I recently lost my 24 year old cousin to cancer over night. He was my best friend and co-worker. I miss him everyday. I hope you spend as much time with your grandmother as you can. Sorry to hear about her condition. Sending positive vibes your way Rob.
I'm so sorry Rob. I know exactly how you feel. My grandmother had demensia and was very violent and had to be on medication that kept her calm and pretty mch stopped her from living like a true person. She couldn't remeber, or feel, or do anything by herself for so many years before she died in her late sixties. I'm glad you got to spend a lot of time with your Grandmother, and I hope you feel better soon.
Sendings lots of love your way! I know how you feel about your grandmother. I went through that almost two years ago. I feel the same way, it hit me hard when it sunk in that she won't be there to see me get married or have kids. Cherish every moment!
Dude I feel you rob. I lost my both my grandparents this year :( . We just gotta honor their memories.
I am sorry to hear about your grandmother. I live with mine and she's 94 and when ever she gets sick it scares me to death. Hopefully Rob she will be fine but I find that grandmothers need to feel as if they are needed. Mine will repeat the same stories over and over again. I have heard her stories 20 to 50+ times now and always listen and nod and say "uh huh". She always tells me what I should do. But listening to her say this makes her feel good. The best thing right now, is to spend time with your grandmother, show her how important she is to you, which I am sure you do. As you said she raised "a great mom" that led to a great you. Show her some videos on youtube like nice animal compilations. Those make my grandmother laugh when she sees a deer and a dog living happily or cats that rule dogs. I hope everything goes well for your grandmother for you and your mother. It is not easy when things like this happen. Have a nice weekend Rob, and take care.
We're here for you Rob.
Oh rob. I wanted to reach through the screen and give you a big hug. I know it is hard but because you have gave it serious thought it will help. It won't take the hurt away. You are wrong though about her not being there for your children because she will live on through the memories you have of her. And the memories your mother has of her. I worked Alzheimer and dementia care as one of my first jobs when I was younger it is shocking and emotional. Sad some night and fun others. I had one woman who spoke 7 languages but because of the dementia she would speak them all at once. And she always gave me a big hug when I would do my rounds thinking I was her daughter. Another would occasionally become lucid and ask us to end her life. It is a terrible disease and unfortunately no cure. Just remember you aren't the only ones trying to struggle through with this, and it sounds like she has had the most wonderful. Much love Rob. Do what you can and people who have been there will understand and those that don't well....that's the reason for the safety labels isn't it?
Sorry to hear that Rob, they call that failure to thrive. We will keep you in our prayers.
Rob, I understand what you're going through, My oma or great grandma was 93 when she passed and it was awful. She was the only blood related family I had, She was the strongest woman in my family and she also suffered from dementia. It was so hard to watch this woman that I knew for so many years become someone I didn't know it all. It really took a toll on me and I have this fear of death and time moving too fast. Rob, I don't know you personally but I can tell you're a strong,sensitive person able to see the good in the bad and everything will be ok. Sending positive energy and love to you and your family.
Your fans are here for you Rob. I understand what you're going through, I live with my grandparents and they're both showing early signs of dementia. I hope your family the best.
Rob, I send my deepest sympathies and best wishes
Sorry to hear about your Grandmother Rob, can't believe there's actually people in the world that would thumbs down a video like this.
So sorry about what you're having to go through right now. Your gran sounds like an amazing person. Sendin' love in ya'lls direction.
very sorry for your grandmother rob i hope she'll feel better soon
Sending positive vibes your way. I've had the unfortunate luck and have lost most people close to me, so I completely understand the feelings your going through. Take as much time as you need before coming back just to make sure you and your family have been able to deal with all the different levels of grief. May your grandmother find peace and her spirit be reunited with your grandfather so they can watch you live your life together. 🌠
Thinking of you at this sad time, Rob. I'm not going to even comment about those who gave you a hard time for not getting videos uploaded "on time". You put a lot of hard work into these videos and you've shared your life with others. I hope you can enjoy the time you have left with your Grandma. You'll always have my support
Hope your grandma makes it and gets better, prayers for you and stay strong man. We love you.
