Rob's Grandma

As some of you may know, Rob’s grandma has not been doing well lately. She was not even expected to make it this long, but yet, seems to amaze us all, until now. When it was April/May, she was starting to deteriorate, and we were just hoping and praying that she would be able to make it to our wedding, and for those of you that were at our wedding know that she was there, and doing okay. But it has just been a waiting game, as she has progressively gotten worse since then. Last night Rob got a call from his mom who said that Grandma is not doing well, and now she is at home, but on Hospice. We all know what happens when someone is in the care of hospice. So we decided that we should go to see her today, because there might not be many more days. We got up and drove there, only to find out that they have had her on morphine, and she is not responding anymore to squeezing her hands or talking to her or anything, she is just lying there like she is sleeping, but in reality, she is in a coma like state, they say she will never wake up again. She sounds like she is breathing liquid, instead of air. It is hard to see, especially since that is kind of how I saw my Dad before he passed. It was very hard to see her that way, I just hope and pray that she knew that we were there today to see her. It is not very often that you can get Rob to go many places and visit people that are sick or anything like that, he usually just keeps saying that he can’t take it seeing someone in pain, or dying or anything. I don’t know what will happen if we ever have kids, and I am in labor! He will be the dad that sits outside or passes out… Anyway, please keep Rob and his family in your thoughts and prayers, as this is a hard time for them, and really for all of us. I pray that she goes peacefully without pain. At least she is at home where she wants to be. She is one of the sweetest and most caring people I have ever met. Live well, Laugh often and Love much
