Grandma Rose

The day before Christmas we received a phone call my grandma, (grammie) had a heart attack. I haven’t seen my grandma in four very long years. This is a woman who was a big part of my life growing up. I really don’t remember her not living with us. Coming home from school grandma always had a snack ready and something good cooking on the stove. When the rest of my friends were looking for apartments and living with friends, I wanted my grandma to be my roommate. She was/is always a big part of my life. Chason my little man hadn’t met his great grandma. So when I received this terrible news I wanted to rush out the door. I didn’t want someone this important in my life not be part of my child life. Within 24 hours the doctors sent her home and we made plans to spend time together this summer. Well, she went home and had another heart attack. We packed our stuff and out the door driving 30 hours north with our three children. Grandma did make it after several heart attacks. Her lungs have basically given up on her. She’s now on oxygen and her body is slowly disappearing. The doctors for as long as I can remember have told her she wasn’t strong enough for surgery. So there’s no attack they can take on her. Our family got to spend less than 24 hours with my grandma. I pray this woman who has outlived many doctors saying she doesn’t have a chance lives another miracle of not having any surgery till this summer. These past couple of years I have lost many important people in my life, its heart breaking, it sad but at the same time it’s happiness. I will one day be with my loved one again, but not on this place called earth. Remember the people who helped mold you into who you are as a person and don’t’ let time get in your way. I love you grammie, and I’m glad I had the chance to hold you one more time and my babies saw a women who I love dearly. Keep healthy and pray every night to get stronger
