Would You Make The Sacrifice For Your Grandpa? by free2ryhme: 2:55pm On Aug 09, 2013
Your 80 year old grandfather needs N15million for emergency surgery (If he doesn't have the surgery he will die) and you're the only person in your family who has that kind of money. But the thing is, you've been working so hard and saving all your money for the past 7 years and all you have in your account is N15.5million. Would you give your grandfather the N15m he needs for surgery or would you be like "No way! he's 80 anyway and I can't start all over again"

Answer this question sincerely,

IJN, my grandpa will never require a surgery, he will remain hale and hearthy for the remaining part of his sojourn on earth.

@Op, my grandpa invested the most in my university education, so all I'm today is due to God and partly his effort financially. So I'll drop the money. Money can always be made again, but great grandpas can never be gotten again if lost to death. God bless my Grandpa.

By the way I have more than 15 million in my account, so that's not so much of a problem.

kindness is not about~ having it in piles, I come from some-what poor home, so d values instilled in me, doesn't include wealth, they are; love, people in my life. i sure do love good things, i can't put wealth above human life. that he is 80 doesn't mean u should let him die!! yes without regrets i will gladly give and hope i can measure up to other needs. thanks.

When there is life there is hope.its a realy tough decision to make but I will drop the money and go into fasting and prayers so he has a successful surgery. Life is very very simple and delicate. We all came into this world with nothing and will return with nothing. Besides if I don't help him and decide to use the money for other things,what's the assurance of something positive coming out of such investment No one knows what the future holds. Saving a life is indeed saving your own life.

It is well.

Oro pesi je, oro di hmmm...

We will pray on Grnadpa's behalf. He is already 80. Where does Grandpa expect me to start from again. Especially in these uncertain times. I think my love, support and care will be enough for grandpa. Well, i dont have a grandpa. Not since 1990's grin

Life, to me is precious. You can't place a monetary value on something that's priceless. I love and embrace life fully and wholeheartedly.

If any of my grandfathers were in that situation, yes, I would spend that money and more, if need be.

80 ke? Even at 99, I'll push and beg the medical team to get him the very best care. He must cross that 100 year threashold by fire-by-force. I'll even cajole him to hold on firmly to life.

So @op, the answer to your question is yes, Yes, YES!!!

Commonsensical question .

Any 80 years old granny who survived such Anaesthesia should be inducted into Guiness book of record.

Cut off is 60 for hip replacement , except minor surgeries like pacemaker insert and others. .. Tsk 80years nah.

OP .... No physician will recommend that. Move it to Gaming section. grin

I'd rather place that granny in hospice care and treat him to his top bucket list before he kiks the bucket cheesy Phew!! By the way I've got NONE .. cheesy vamonoose
Re: Would You Make The Sacrifice For Your Grandpa? by Nobody: 4:28am On Aug 10, 2013
It seems pple don't get it. Even if he dies the next day,I will do that unless I don't hv such money.
Money? I can never allow u control my better judgement.
I will one day be a grannie and watch as my children and grandchildren will not fight for me if I hv health related issue when I know the money is there and not pronounce curse on all of them!
What a sad view on life.

If heaven is real as Nigerians claim why is anyone afraid of death?

Abeg there are more important things to use the money for.

No, I wouldn't. My kids are my priority. I'm a realist, and don't allow emotion to rule me.

Well said bro. What is grandpa still doing on earth. Let him go and rest with the Lord. It's time for the next generation.

Mehn..its hard oh. he's 80, how much longer does he have and after all the hardwork?

But then again, I think the guilt about not saving him when you could would probably suffocate a person.

Hence, while it would be extremely hard to give up the savings, I would give the money to save him. Life is not about how much money you have, but on how you lived it and I dont think I would be living it well if I could not save a person (my grandpa) even if he is 80.
It might be a blessing in dsguise!
YES ℓ̊ wl save him... ℓ̊ can and will always make anoda money but ℓ̊ can never have my grandpa again...
