I really meant to post this on the 18th, but I was a bit busy.
It’s hard to believe that it’s been two years since I lost my granny. Cancer is a terrible way to die, and it’s almost as bad to have to watch someone die from it. It sucks the life out of you, literally. I witnessed one of the strongest women I knew become so weak in only a matter of days. Once it got to the point where she couldn’t speak, I could barely take it.
I cried every day of those last two weeks we had with her. I cried when I first saw her lying in that hospital bed, as thin as a rail and slightly jaundiced. I cried when she had to transfer hospitals. I cried when she experience her first and only chemo treatment because it was so painful. I cried when she was no longer able to eat. I cried as I watched my mother lovingly rub an ice cube over her mouth, help her drink, or apply Chapstick to her moisture-deprived lips. I cried when she had to be moved into hospice care. I cried when she talked about death. I cried when she could no longer speak. I cried when she was totally unresponsive, just lying there. I cried while my sister and I gave her the last mani/pedi we would ever give her, because she loved when we did her nails. And, I cried when she passed.
She passed away in that hospice room in Ohio with her loved ones around her bed. She didn’t let go until we let her know that it was okay. On December 18, 2009, also my parents anniversary, she left this earth to be with her Father. Although I knew she was happy, in a better place, and without pain, it still hurt. I cried like a baby. No, I wailed. I screamed. AND I cried. This was a process that went on until the mortician arrived to take her body. I had never seen my pawpaw cry so much in my life.
As we left that hospice for the last time, it began to snow. And, as the snow slowly fell upon Ohio, I couldn’t help but smile, knowing that it was a good sign.
Thank you, Granny for being our angel. Thank you for teaching us how to love to our fullest capacity. Thank you for sharing your love of God with us. I will never forget sitting in your Sunday school class learning all about how much He loves us. Thank you. And thank you, God for allowing us to have so much time with her. I only hope that I can be as great of a woman as she was.
You see somebody’s hair flowing in the wind:
And your’s is all:
