On the road again....

I am going to see Grandma tomorrow as soon as I am up and showered and ready to go. My dad's cousins will be here from California for the weekend and Dad and one cousin, Jimmy, may be there while I am. I am hoping it all goes well, although the latest reports are worse than they ever have been. I am up to the challenge to show Dad and Jimmy (if the go) how I can pull her out of her dulldrum, comatose state and make her (if only for a couple of minutes) laugh and be ornery. I hope they are there. I hope they decide to go. My dad needs it at this point. The times are getting less in quantity. We need to cherish and embrace each and every one.

Wish me (and hopefully us) luck!

Just remember, even if she doesn't react "She's in there." That's not a cliche, you actually experience the visitor's presence (& enjoy it) you just can't respond. She wants to know everyone is ok. It's okay to let her have permission to go "see Jesus" or "Grandpa Wells". You can't say "I love you" too much.

Nurses have told me this during different times in my life.

Hope you get to have wonderful day with grandma! She's a great! lady.
