Mistress Kat,

thanks for yuor kind works and I only hope and pray that if death comes it is not a long drawn out thing like we faced. My brother went on hospice 3 years ago, and every year they thought he was a gonner, he fought long and hard this last time I am sure, I just found out his oldest daughter's birthday was shortly after he passed. Now she will carry that with her, but I hope she is strong enough not to let it get her down for years. And we stopped saying, " if only" a lung transplant almost 20 or even 10  or 5 years ago might or might not have helped, both my older sis and I would gladly have given up a lung for him, but it will not solve what must be.....it's now 3 years after losing my closest aunt and we all sometimes say, "I should known, should have....." I would exchange places and carry this burden for you if I could, truly, hand in there kiddo, I send you virtual hugs and all the strength I have in me.

I am now truly first fearing the trip cause of my body aches, but mostly looking forward to what my daughter has been dreaming of seemingly all her life!! My grandbaby and I will make it thru on our own if need be, she seems to have that 6th sense about my old body and we have a way of adjusting, she seems to tailor her needs to fit my abilities, bless her. When I say she is too heavy to hold, she pulls me to the floor and is content to bring me her toys or books or just to sit beside me if not on my lap. We will be fine, with or without the other grandparents, I have to believe in that!!

Plus she still takes a nap or goes to bed early and I have all of you friends to turn to!!!!!! hugs to you love lola
