What a week last week. First my new car came in and is exquisite. It's a 2003 Lexus ES300 with marroon exterior and tan interior. Then in all my happiness and glory I answered the phone and my grandma told me my granfather was dying. So we all jumped in the car and went to her house, where the whole family was gathered. As we watched him struggle to breathe and as moans broke the awkward silence the family couldn't do anything but stare. At one point his pulse waned to a point where we couldn't feel it and we thought he died, but a few seconds later , as if surged with new life he took a deep breath. We all jumped and after that it seems as if his stroke ended. I wsih he could have died that night with all of his family around him, but I guess that'll be saved for another night. The love between my grandparents was truly inspiring, though. I hope to find that. A love to last a lifetime.
