Today, my grandpa died. I called my grandma to make sure she was going to be fine. After talking over the phone for 30 minutes or so, I told her goodbye and said, out of habit, "Say hi to grandpa for me". FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, a telemarketer called my house phone and asked for my grandpa. We were in the middle of having his wake. FML
Today, I called my boyfriend to have a shoulder to cry on because my grandpa died. As soon as I told him, he started crying and telling me how much he missed his grandmother, who died six years ago. I spent the majority of the phone call listening to him wail. FML
Today, I told my boss that my grandma died to get a day off work, but then my grandma showed up at the office looking for me because she wanted to go shopping. FML

Today, I texted a friend offering my condolences over the death of his grandfather. He hadn't been told his grandfather had died yet. FML
Today, I saw an old friend while out and about. Since I don't leave the house very often, my friend was surprised to see me in person. He jokingly asked if someone was dying, and I cried in response. I was in fact going to the hospital to say goodbye to my grandma. FML
Today, I work at a hospice center. At 3AM, a call just went out to a man's family to come because he was dying. I didn't realize that this man was my old friend's grandpa. When I saw her, I smiled really big and said, "Hey! Great to see you!" Her grandpa was ACTIVELY DYING. Stupid stupid stupid. FML
Today, while at my aunt's funeral, my grandma who has terrible memory loss asked me whose funeral we were at. I had to explain to her that her daughter had died. FML

Today, my grandpa took the family out for dinner and paid for everyone. He paid the bill and my family and I were waiting by the door. I realised I probably should thank him for dinner. I turned around without thinking and give him a big hug, and said, "Thanks for dinner Grandpa." It wasn't my grandpa. FML

You should have added "In your prayers i mean" then it wouldn't be an fml.

I'm sorry for your loss. :( You probably should've told your Grandma it was just out of habit, and not intentional. I'm also sorry for the a-holes that clicked YDI. You don't in anyway.

I'm so sorry... my grandpa just died recently too. Your mind's racing with all these thoughts and wondering how it will affect your family, especially your grandma... it might have hurt her feelings in the moment, but I'm sure she'll understand it was out of habit.

19, that's a pretty unfunny thing to say. My grandmother had Alzheimer's and was already well into it when my grandpa died. It was very hard when it she started forgetting things and didn't want to wake up or talk to us anymore. It's not something to joke about.

My grandfather had it as well. He would yell names in the middle of the night. He was also blind, so that helped. Shit happens.
