My Grandparents finally moved closer to us. Their house was beautiful and had beautiful surroundings, but it was time to be near. That is good. My grandmother is in the hospital with heart failure. Luckily, she just needs a pacemaker.
My Granny has been my best friend forever and ever. I stayed with her when I was young, she loved me when I was annoying, my grandparents visited me weekly while I was in college, and my husband proposed to me at their house because he knew it was my favorite place.
The concept of losing her is not one I like to think about. Yet, it is there. My mother is taking care of her in the hospital. It is best.
When I was very young, my grandfather was shot at work when someone was fired. The man used illegal bullets that exploded inside of his body. He was left alive, but paralyzed. My parents took care of them then.
I realized last night, my life has been full of difficult things - and wonderful things, but my family has always taken care of each other. Not everyone is so lucky. But, I have had my Mother and my Grandmother to show me how to stay put together and wear my Big Girl Panties. I am lucky.
