It's one of them feelings you hate having confirmed... Today when I tried to reach my mom for something... I had a feeling she was down at the other house because of Grandma... So, I called there & the Hospice nurse answered... She was there giving Grandma antibiotics for pneumonia. She then put mom on the phone who in turned said she believes it's the beginning... yeah... of the end. 
She's even contemplating if she should call ex-step dad (it's HIS mom!!)... so, if she's thinking that... I know it's not good. So... please pray...
she's 89 years old & we all were hoping she would make it, at least, to her 90th birthday on December 12th... but if she is sick... I don't & I'm sure the rest of the family, want her to suffer. It's a hard thing when they are this old...What's even harder for us girls is that she is our last living grandparent. To no longer be called "granddaughter" is going to be a hard pill to swallow.
Oh... the picture above is when all us girls were at Bob Evans for breakfast (some time last year)... Left to right... Grandma, Gina, Mom, & Renee. (I'm the one who took the picture, that's why I am not in it... never dawned on me to have a waitress take it until days later!)
You all know how I love Tigger... well, I almost forgot... I love Tweety Bird just as much!! So, that's why I am sharing this...
We will be praying for Grandma..
ReplyDeletei am praying for grandma, too!!
ReplyDeleteAt her age all you can hope for is that she goes peacefully. God Bless you and your family.
ReplyDeleteYou'll always be a granddaughter if you and her are saved - one day you'll be reunited and she will have a perfect body and no longer be sick. You are lucky to have had her for so long. I lost my grandmother when I was 21. 9 days after I got married. I will say a prayer for her to get better and make that 90th!
ReplyDeleteGreat point... & yes we both are!! :)
ReplyDeleteUPDATE.... Just talked to my sister, Gina... & She said that Grandma seems to be doing a bit better... she's up watching her "Dean Martin Show"; laughing & have a good time... but as Gina puts it... "She could turn for the worse tonight."
ReplyDeleteSo, it's a wait & see for now. Keep praying! Thanks!! :)
still praying, sweetie!!
ReplyDeleteI know you don't want to give her up, BUT sometimes praying for them to stay is selfish and mean for the one that stays. Will pray hard about his Lady. Really hard.
ReplyDeleteThank you & I know you will!! :)
ReplyDeleteI know this may not help but thank God in His Mercy that you are able to be there for her during the last. You will be able to hold her hand, tell her you love her and spend time with her before hand. It may not seem like that in particular is a blessing but believe me, it is.
ReplyDeleteI saw some of the other comments and am glad to see that she's feeling a little better.
I will pray for you and your family--hang in there.
well hon you know my background and my losses so take this opportunity that you have to tell her that you love her and be thankful that you get the chance to say goodbye and as always if you need me you know where to find me.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel. I only have one grandparent left, myself. My grandmother. Her health and mind is failing more and more everyday. We don't know how much longer we'll have left with her either. I don't want to think about it. When she's gone, I won't be called granddaughter anymore either. So I feel for you and understand where you're coming from.
