Grandma is dying

We are going to go see Shannon's (my hubby) grandmother in the morning.  We went to see her about 2 weeks ago.  We did not think she would make it this long but she has.

Grandma will be 82 years old on Monday.  She has been going down hill for the last year.  Only 5 % of her heart is working.

I am going to miss her.  I love to hear her tell of the good old days.  She talks of the times when her and her hubby grew food to feed the family because they could not afford to other wise.

To hear of how the went from town to town picking veggies and fruit. To the lessons her mother taught her. How they survived all this hardship and still helped other out.

We all feel blessed to have her as long as we do/did.  The start of this year the Dr.'s told us to see her because she will not last much longer.   Grandma is still here.  We are even more blessed because we got a picture with grandma and 5 generations!!  Our grand babies made the 5th generation.

Mom called us to tell us she is much worse and passing out today.  So we will go see her. Mom says grandma will be here for a few more days, she thinks.

The world is a much sadder place when we lose people with such history that they can and do share with us.  When the world was a nicer place, people cared and helped each other out even when they had nothing them selves. 

I miss my grandparents.  My grandfather went home almost 14 years ago and my grandma went home 6 years ago.  I loved to sit a listen to them tell me about the good old days.

God Bless, mj

It is sad when they pass on. My grandmother died a year ago next month, and it is strange to think that she is gone. I hope her last days are comfortable and full of love.

Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. The chickens probably would come n if we let them. I am so sorry for the loss of Marty. May God help you each day as you miss him. I pray hubby's grandmother's passing is peaceful. My mom is going to be 84 in March and says each year "if I am here next year". She is healthy but understands anything can happen at her age. Blessings.
