Unlike
We've all known for a while now that Grandma's not in great shape. She's had stomach issues for a long time, been losing weight, gets tired really easily - and the past year or so has had memory problems.
In the past couple of days, I've had three separate conversations with family indicating that things look kind of dour. As a result, several of us are making an effort to go the family reunion this weekend. I'm hoping this is just some of the hyperbole some of my Aunts are prone to, but it's totally possible it's not. The woman's damn near 90, after all.
I'm not gonna go off on a long heart-dump today - after all, I don't know anything yet. I'll know more Sunday.
What I will say is that it's scary, and it makes me sad and makes me wonder a whole lot about a whole lot. At the same time, I'm glad I'll have the chance to spend some time with her this weekend.
It sucks. It makes me blubbery, as it should. We'll see.
