Its kind of a selfish feeling.
I want more time with her.
I want to be able to call and hear her voice.
To have a full conversation.
For her to give me sarcasm, expecting me to return it.
We know that our loved ones are only on loan to us...borrowed.
We've all known its coming for years.
The day I found out I was pregnant with Kellen, she was in the hospital.
We thought she may never meet him.
She's been in and out of the hospital since then,
And has surprised each one of us by how she's kept pushing on.
She's ornery, stubborn, hard headed, and likes to do things her way.
I think she's ready.
Tired of fighting and hurting.
I know its ok to let go, but I don't want to.
I feel like she's been on borrowed time for awhile now.
It doesn't matter.
I want more time.
I'm trying to accept it
I thought we may get one more Christmas with her.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving.
I really am so thankful.
Thankful that when I found David, I also found his Grandma.
Thankful that she accepted me with open arms.
Thankful that she never wanted me to call her anything but "Grandma".
I was her Granddaughter.
I'm thankful for her humor.
Her stubbornness
And most of all, her unconditional love.
It doesn't matter if you have met her at the grocery store, a restaurant, a family get together, the doctor's office, through a friend, or if you are blessed enough to be related.
Everyone has a special place in their heart, made just for her.
She understands people, and knows that everyone just wants a connection.
I am thankful for everything that I have learned from my relationship with her.
Grandma, its ok to let go....
We all know you love us and that your life is complete.
Thank you for being you.
Love you Grandma!

I'm so sorry to hear about David's grandma. I wish I had all these wonderful words to make it easier, but unfortunately there are none. I am thinking and praying for all of your family.
Bellece
I'm so sorry. That was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy that you were able to have this Thanksgiving time with her (but so sorry you were sick for it!)
