Headed Home


The Holidays are not going to be too festive this year.  My Grandma was moved to a hospice facility this week.  I'm headed back home this weekend to be by her side.  You are never prepared for situations like this.  She's almost 95 and hasn't been doing well the last couple of years, but it still comes as a shock.  It's amazing how naive we are in thinking the people we love will be around forever.  I guess that is just human nature.  I'm honestly not sure what we will do without her.  She's the matriarch of our family, our rock, our touchstone.  She's the glue that holds us all together.  Will we all just break apart when she's gone?  I hope not.  I will try to make sure that we honor her strength and love by keeping together.  We owe her that.
