My grandma (a.k.a Nanny) has cancer & dementia. Everyone loves her, they always have because she's so sweet, kind & caring. Since she got sick the people around her have really been good about helping us (my mom & I) take care of her. It's exhausting & very sad! Watching someone you love wither & fade away. My Nanny was always there for me & so good to me! She was put in the hospital last night to have more fluid drained out of her lungs. The Dr told us that we need a plan in place because she's just too weak & fragile & won't be able to do cancer treatments. My mom is talking with hospice to get things in order. We've had so much death in our family over the last few years that almost everyone is gone now & my heart & my gut tell me that it won't be much longer for my sweet little Nanny. Death is a part of life that we all deal with & face but it is so unfair! I have dreaded this day for most of my life & here it is. I know that she's tired & ready. Her soul is right with God & I know that my sweet, dear Papa will be waiting for her on the other side!
