I will definitely be praying for you! As for me, I got in from Kansas City earlier this evening after visiting my Grandma, who is under hospice care. We made the decision to go back and visit her, because she is very frail.

She wasn't supposed to make it past Christmas of 2002, but she's still with us defying the doctors. It was really sad, though, because she thought Dad was Grandpa (who has been gone for 40 years) and I was Dad.

It's very sad, but she's had a wonderful life.

Toward the end when Mom was on morphine, she kept thinking I was the nurse (she'd been in the hospital for awhile before coming home with hospice care), and was *not* impressed by what a lousy nurse I was. It was both kind of funny and also heartrending.

I talked to her a lot at the end, but I wonder how much she understood. I suppose it doesn't matter since this isn't *really* the end...but humanly, it's awfully hard to grasp that.

I'll be praying for your Grandma and your family!
