Grandsons Grant Grandfather His Last Dying Wish: To Have One More Beer Together by WriterNig: 11:52pm On Nov 26, 2019
A picture of a group of grandsons having a beer with their grandfather has gone viral, but not for reasons you’d typically imagine.

Adam Schemm, who lives in Wisconsin, posted a photo of himself and his brothers beside their grandfather in the hospital.

The tweet was shared with the caption, “My grandfather passed away today. Last night all he wanted to do was to have one last beer with his sons.”

The picture shows Schemm’s grandfather on his hospital bed smiling for the camera while he holds his beer surrounded by his four sons who are also drinking beer with him, granting his last wish.

The bittersweet picture which was shared on November 21, went viral and had more than 31K retweets and was liked over 322K times.

The photo and the memory are extremely touching, to say the least.

"Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!
Drink and the devil had done for the rest
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!"

You can imagine how many beers they've had together over the years.
Now Grandpa wants one last bottle for the road.

The ecstasy that comes from sharing moments - good or bad - with a person(s) with whom one shares mutual altruistic interest can't be compared to any other form of ecstasy. Love is the greatest refreshment in life.

Haha.. You're making want to read this book again.

Can you imagine the half-wit Ben Gunn being the hero of the story. Yet, the idiot was given a thousand pounds as his share and still went back to begging on the twentieth day grin

"Dead men don't bite" is one of my favorite quotes.
