gramma & flothe hospice nurse is saying it may be only a matter of days, not weeks for my gramma’s time on this earth. She is obviously the one behind Flo, the cat, in this picture. That picture was taken about a month and a half ago. Things have already changed so much. The living room at my grandparents house is all moved around complete with a hospital bed, oxygen tank and portable lavatory.

I’m numb and in shock. And all this time, my grandpa is struggling with a tumor that he has to have operated on in a matter of weeks. I know there is a lot of fear and emotion that these two events are so close and that my gramma may not be here for that.

Please lift up my family. There is no doubt my gramma’s savior is waiting for her with loving arms, but for us, here, selfishly, the thought of her not being around, and losing the essence of who she is … gramma…. it is too painful to bear at times.

Every moment counts now. It makes everything else seem so trivial.

I'd love it if you subscribed to my RSS feed.
