My parents spent today in and out of the hospital with my Grandma. The upshot of it all is that she (Gramma) had a not-really-huge stroke a few days ago, and is now being treated with a pretty positive prognosis. But... my Gramma had a stroke!
This is important. I feel like it would be really easy for me to just keep going, not taking this in. But I can't do that, and I don't want to do that. I love my Gramma so much, so very very much, and more than that, I love hanging out with her. She is such a cool person, and I can truly say that she's one of my really good friends.
So I need to stop ignoring it, and accept the fact that she's going to die sometime, and that that time cannot be controlled by us. If I know this, I can spend how ever much (Lord willing, quite a long time) time we have left well and fully.
That's what I intend to do.
Feel better, Gramma.
serious,
gramma
