Rough couple of weeks...

Last week my grandmother was put in the hospital following a round of chemo, she had found out only 3 weeks prior that she had pancreatic cancer. I went to visit her on Thursday, that morning she had slipped into a coma. The doctors said that the coma came from her quickly declining kidney function. (Which was caused by the effects of chemo on her kidneys) All the rest of the week/weekend my cousin and I visited her and spent as much time as we possibly could with her. On Monday, (8/9/10) I had to work, and just before I was to get off of work, I received a call saying she had passed. Yesterday was her funeral...

Life...is so unpredictable, short, and sometimes unfair. I wish I could understand why things like this happen...but instead, I have to believe God has his reasons, and that it is just the way things are supposed to be. I remember being a little girl, and thinking that nothing would ever happen to those I love...And now at 32, I have lost 3 grandparents in less than 3 years. I am thankful for the time I did have with them, I know some people aren't so lucky as to have their grandparents for that long, but no matter how long you have with them, you are never ready to let them go. So I live in faith, that one day I will see them again. That's what I hold onto; that's the only thing that makes it bearable.

Papaw R, Papaw M, & Mamaw M I love you, and miss you!
