I was at work Monday when I received the call that our grandmother had taken a turn for the worst. As of last weekend, Lori and I knew her time was short, but we expected it to be measured in days; not hours.
We quickly made arrangements to make the trip north. It was not without the help of many people. Eric's parents took the children, and my co-workers covered my scheduled work hours. We packed the car, and Eric drove the six hours to Kansas.
She was in a coma when we arrived. Our biggest contribution was to sit watch while our grandfather and my mom (her daughter-in-law) got some sleep. Lori doted on our grandmother during that time.
She passed away at 10AM this morning. Her suffering is over.
I'm very sorry for your loss, Michelle. Draw strength from your family.
