I don't even know where to begin without my keyboard getting wet again from tears.
ok- so my grandparents, let's start with them. Grandma is 88 and Grandpa is 87 and Grandma says that she prays every day that Grandpa goes first, because she fears if she goes first - he will be confused and won't know what to do (dementia, possible alzheimers). they are old. had a great, wonderful life.
my mother wanted one more time- just one more with the entire family. So we have been planning this weekend for months. MONTHS. The entire family was able to get off work so we can all go down to Grandma's (6 hours south)... for Easter. family reunion. She has stressed- this is most likely the last time we will all be together. LAST TIME.
let's talk about my husband's grandfather now--- who is in his 70's (most likely early 70's- though my husband is older than I, his family had children at much younger ages than mine).... anyways, his grandfather, "Papaw V.", has been in the hospital very sick for a month now. Doctors cannot figure out why his kidney's are failing- but they are. He has a DNR- and a will that says he cannot be put on life support. Weeks ago- when all this started, I prayed and prayed for God's will to be done. Please, be done so it doesn't affect the weekend that is supposed to be my "last time" with the family with my own Grandparents.. PLEASE, God, can you hear me?!
Here it is. THE weekend. my husband's Grandpa has "been made comfortable" and is "nearing the end". right smack on THE weekend. Which means- if he passes... we will be driving 4 hours in the opposite direction for a funeral. and I will most likely miss my "last time" with my family.
K- I have not quit crying all day. Can you all just pray that I pull it together so I can get things done at work before I have to leave and be completely ripped in half? just pray for peace. pray for things to happen the way they are meant to, for God's plan.
