You did a very selfless thing to spend time with her when I know it had to be so hard to see her that way. (At least that is how my very selfish and cowardly heart views it.)<br /><br />Bless her and y'all.Megan Cobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14008925325073263825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-58134998417434280712009-06-18T09:23:32.671-05:002009-06-18T09:23:32.671-05:00Isn't it an odd place to be.

My Grandfather passed away 2 years ago around this time, Rachel and I stayed at the hopsital that night with him and my grandma, knowing the end was coming soon. A few years before that my other grandmother was in that place, not eating, sick of all the pills and kidney dialysis, hospitals, and pain. Before that it was my husband's dad and his grandmother. We have made sure our kids were involved, both in caring for them and in being there at the end. Right at this very moment a friend's father, who is also a friend of mine and a psudo grandpap to my kids, is at that place 5 hours away, and I am praying we get a car in time for me to get there before he passes-both to help her prepare (she is a single mom to a 3 year old) and to say good bye. It is hard to say goodbye but it is even harder not being able to be there. I praise God that you are able to be thee with her, that your kids are there as well.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13735948672915158770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-34718112895511978612009-06-18T03:43:28.820-05:002009-06-18T03:43:28.820-05:00Associated Healthcare Systems of Jessamine County ...Associated Healthcare Systems of Jessamine County and Senior Living Management Services announced the future opening of an <a href="http://www.epressreleases.org/event-news-press-releases.asp?auto=13315" rel="nofollow">assisted living in Nicholasville</a>.
