I have prayed but I have to tell you a story.

My friend’s grandmother wasn’t able to eat or drink and they sent her home from the hospital to die. She hadn’t had anything to eat for days and she hadn’t responded to anyone for about a week. They were giving her water using straws.

My friend got there the day after her birthday and went to her room and started talking to her. She got the water and went to put it in her mouth and her finger slipped off and the water dribbled down her chin and her neck and she said, “Sorry, Grandmommy.” Well, she opened her eyes and said, “That’s okay, everyone else does it too.”

She also knew the day before had been her birthday and wondered if there was any birthday cake, which there was and she wanted some.

She lived another 5 months or so. I did actually see this with my own eyes it isn’t just a story I heard.
