Bit of a letdown... :(
Last afternoon, while coming home from work, my mom had called me and left a message on my cellphone, telling me about my grandmother wasn't feeling too well. She had pneumonia, and she's worsening by the minute, and in her age of 96, she's getting to the point as to not recognize anybody around her. To make things worse, my mom said she might not hold out much longer...could be days, weeks, months... :(
I was deeply very saddened by this, and called her straight away when I got home. I'm planning on meeting my grandmother on Monday, and I have taken Monday off from work to go see her. My dad and I will be on a plane to Illinois and back on that same day.
Looking back, it has been a good few years seeing grandma as old as she was, and the good times we had whenever she came down to visit with us as a family. Now, being the last of my grandparents, I'm going to feel a bit lonely with her gone. But, I know that in my heart, that she lived a great life throughout the years during my childhood and adulthood, and she'll be going to meet up with my other grandparents.
