gramma bee

My dear mom is preparing to leave this world. She has been suffering for many years since her stroke. Last night she had trouble swallowing and possibly aspirated some food so she was taken to the emergency room of the hospital. While there she had a heart attack. The doctors thought she'd pass away last night, but her heart decided to get going again and she made it through the night. Today is my brother, Larry's birthday. It seems like the perfect day for Mom to die. Larry would be so happy for her. He and his dear wife, Tammy, have been there the past 6 years as she has tried to bounce back from a devastating stroke. He told me today he is hoping she can go very soon. And what a glorious reunion it will be for her. We love Larry and Tammy for being such wonderful caregivers. Eternal perspective is grand. Precious corridors of memory are so sweet. We luv you Gramma.

this isn't going to be easy, saying goodbye, is it? she was just too precious. okay okay, we'll share her now grampa stone. just because we know he's been dying to ask for some "white whiskey" for over a year now. and she'll be so happy to get it for him. :)
