Day 5 of week-long posting

[angio]

So my mom was told that my grandma has two weeks tops.  I'm so sad, but I truly feel that she'll be in a better place.  I feel like my grandpa is waiting for her.  She's so weak.  She has Parkinson's.  She's only coherant about 20%of the time.  I feel so awful for my mom.  I can't imagine watching someone you love slowly die.  My mom has been there nearly every day for the last 5 years or so.  One of my aunts moved in with my grandma, but my mom still does most of the work, on top of having a job (which my aunt does not).  So I'm going over there today with Piper.  It could be the last time.  I hate to think it will be, especially since I'm going while Duncan's at school.  He loves his great-grandma.  I also don't know how much he realizes and if he knows she's not healthy.  And my other grandma died when Duncan was a toddler, so he didn't realize it too much.  But he's going to definitely know this time.  It breaks my heart.  I hurt for my grandma, for my mom, for my aunts, for myself, and Duncan since it will be his first death to really deal with.....

Coincedentally, I'm participating in a walk this weekend for Parkinson's disease.  My friend is going through this with her dad who is quite a bit younger than my grandma.  It's just so sad....
