Other news…

I spoke to my grandmother the other day. It was very hard for me not to cry when she couldn’t remember who I was. I choked back and asked her how she was doing and her reply was “I don’t know who that man is..”, as if I had asked her about someone in the room with her.

After I hung up the phone, my mind started racing around and I suddenly realized - When she passes away, I will no longer have a “grandmother”. That upset me pretty bad and still does as I type this. What upsets me even more about this is that I am truly worried I may not make it home in time to see her one last time. For those of you who didn’t know, we are unable to make our Georgia trip next month due to Jo’s back injury. Travel is completely out of the question for at least 2 months while he’s attending his physiotherapy sessions. If she worsens, I will have to find a way to overcome my fear of flying and fly home to visit and hope I’m not too late.

The last time I was in Calgary I lost my grandmother on my father’s side. You have no idea how afraid I am that the same thing may be happening with my grandmother on my mother’s side.
