My grandma, Nettie, is in the hospital again this week for her heart failure. She was pretty down yesterday when I went to visit her because the ER people told her she was dying... but, then again, that is always what they seem to say due to her condition. In 2004 they gave her 30 days to live- and I never count on "their" time frame... only God's.
My grandma is the strongest woman alive I think! She will turn 91 this weekend, and has had her health deteriorate the last 2 years with fluid in her heart. She still is cracking lines and making us laugh, her green eyes always tugging at my heart strings. Lots of great moments with grandma... so sad she has to suffer now going in and out of the hospital. I have made peace with the thought of not having her here and in heaven instead. I just don't want her to deal with the hospital and family drama in her last days. :(
This is a card I made her with our photo on front for Grandparent's Day a couple years ago. I love it because she is smiling and it is a casual photo of us hanging out. That is how I will remember her- and in the kitchen teaching me how to make authentic Italian spaghetti sauce. I need a hug today!
