I'm at the hospital right now in Beaumont TX with my grandma.
I'm going to be very open about this. It would be better to help me realize this.
My grandma will leave me and the world soon... much too soon for my comfort. The prognosis of 6 months before surgery, to a few weeks post-surgery is giving me perspective. As sad as I am to be here for this reason, I am glad to be here for my Memaw. I wouldn't have it any other way. She won't be alone.
I've never really had a person close to me die before. All my other grandparents died when I was younger. I know my grandma, and I love her very much. This is going to be hard and trying and emotional. She'll be more peaceful at the end though.
I may not ask for support, but please be there for me. I'm not one for crying, even to my close friends. Please tell me it's OKAY to cry. That I can still be strong and cry. Help me to be strong for my mom, for my family, for my Memaw, and for myself...
"We'll carry on,
We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it
The anthem won't explain it." - My Chemical Romance
