Seeking God Knows What

My 92-year-old grandmother is dying.  I expect it to be any time, so my sister MK and I are heading over to Hastings where she is in a nursing home to be with her and my family.  We went on Tuesday night but the nursing home called my aunt early this morning and said she has taken a downturn and my sister wants to go over today as well, except her DH doesn’t want her to drive there alone as the roads are not very good.

So T is taking Widget to her childcare person, who fortunately had an opening today, MK is taking her two to her DH’s parents and we will be spending the greater majority of the day in a nursing home with as much of my dad’s family as can gather together.  We did this when my grandpa died 8 years ago, and while hard, it is a long lasting experience.

Plus I totally forgot to post it on here but T’s maternal grandmother died this weekend from a very short bout of cancer (she was diagnosed the week before Christmas).  We already have a memorial service on the calendar for a week from Saturday and now I expect to be adding another.

Maybe this will get my parents’ heads out of their butts and remind them to at least get along with each other -more about that at another time!  They did drive over together today.
