It's real

I saw my grandma today for the first time in at least a month. She is dying. There is no denying it when one looks at her. It's true. She is nothing but skin and bones. She looks awful. She is somewhat lucid, it's hit and miss, minute to minute. I can't type. I know where the keys are but can't see the screen through the tears. Please pray.

Just a comment......during one of my "near death experiences" I was in a place so peaceful, I was in a calm beyond belief (I believe the Bible says there is a "peace that passeth understanding", not in the case of death but in the case of accepting Jesus' love, but I digress). I had four young children and a husband that I adored, a life perfect for me. Afterward I wondered- how could I have been so calm when I was so close to death? But truly I knew why, I was with God and it was good. I had no fear, no worry, no panic, no pain....just peace. I believe God is holding your Grandma W and it is good! She has a peace she deserves. This is not a cake walk for you, her family, and I so I am sending a super strength prayer straight to the Source for some "earthly calm" for you......amen. Sweet dreams!

I'm so sorry that I can't be there. Cherish the time that you have left. You have the power to determine how you will spend your last moments together.
