Showing Original Post only (View all)Good vibes requested. My grandmother is dying. Update: She passed away :( [View all]
She’s 91 and is in a nursing home. No known cause of decline other than old age. She’s in a coma-like state and sleeping deeply. Her hands are still warm but she’s been without fluid for four days now. I imagine it’s not long before she passes.
She was a great grandmother. We had a tradition of playing the card game Uno since I was 5, up to a few years ago (I’m 41 now). She would read the Beverly Cleary books and Laura Ingalls Wilder books to me before I could read. When I visited she always had my favorite cereal Cocoa Pebbles and Juicy Juice fruit juice.
Update: As I’m writing this post, I received the call that she passed away. RIP Grandma, I love you.

She will live on with you by your acts of doing good deeds for your family, friends, co workers, and the planet

I HOPE that you have THIS to look forward to. There rarely is a day that my maternal grandmother isn't here with me.....
