The kind of phone call you hate to get......
| no matter that you know its coming, that its only a matter of time, no matter that you know its for the best. You still hate to get that call. The call came today. Dh's grandmother passed this morning. We saw her last weekend. She barely looked like the same woman I remembered. She's been in a nursing home for a couple years and dh just couldn't go see her. He was afraid that as soon as he did she would die. Something this past weekend though nudged him and out of the blue he wanted to go. So we loaded up the kids and made the trip. I almost cried when I saw her. She was never a big woman but she had a big personality. I remember going to her house....oh the food she put on the table! She was the busiest woman I know. I think the only time she sat still was to hold her great grandchildren. She was about the same size as our 11yo dd now though. Age and disease had riddled her body. She was congested and couldn't breathe, therefore she wasn't eating. She said she was ready to go. Still it hurts. I have to be the one to tell dh....he's still at work though. Its not the kind of news I want to leave him a message about either. The younger kids don't know yet either. DD 11 has already said she didn't want to go to her funeral. Last weekend dh also learned that his best friend's mother had passed and at nearly the same time our niece had a baby boy. I wonder if there was a new life today? |
