We Will Miss You

This past week has been a whirlwind. I got hooded on May 7th for my doctor of physical therapy degree and I "graduated" from Marymount on May 8th. During this whole time my grandmother was not doing well health wise. My mother told me the night of May 8th that it did not look like grandma has much more time to live. That following monday I get a call from my mom saying that the hospice nurse believed that it was my grandma's time to go and that all the family should come in. I was lucky enough to get there before my grandma passed. Even tho she wasn't responding I hope she knew that we were all there and that we all loved her. My grandma basically brought me up here in the states and so it was hard for me to come to the realization that she was actually leaving us. But she was able to be surrounded by loved ones and live her last few days in the comfort of her own home. I am really glad she was able to see Melody tho, she never remembered her or knew if she was a boy or a girl. She always told me to just raise her right and have a boy next time. She was funny like that.

I am going to miss you grandma.
