Texas Visit...and assorted family issues
I'm in Texas. Flew in on Friday night to be with my ailing grandmother. Thank goodness I did. She was declining quickly and I got to tell her I loved her and I also got the wonderful pleasure of her saying it back before she passed away last evening.
I was helping my mother since she's taken care of her for almost 3 years here at her home. We had hospice care here but during the day the family had to give medications and do some care. I was nominated to do the medicines for her and I took very good care of her and tried my best to keep her out of pain and comfortable. I feel I did my job and that now that God has taken her home she's more comfortable than I could ever make her.
It's a sad passing as I will miss her greatly but I have enjoyed knowing she's in a better place with that mansion up above. I truly believe that's waiting for us when we move on.
I've met many family members and had a good time helping others out with their grief. I'm working hard to deal with my own as well. The funeral will probably be tomorrow and that will be a trial for me as I usually don't do well at those. I look at it as a time to support my mother and be strong and celebrate a life of 97 years that my grandmother had. Instead of something sad and drawn out. Hopefully I can keep that outlook throughout the day!
For those reading this and who know me - keep me in thoughts and prayers. I also have an uncle in a coma in the hospital here and we're hoping he'll rally and do well - or let God's will be done and we can deal with that as it comes. He is my dad's brother.
Hope all my friends are well - I will be here again to update.
