P1xie Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 My grandmother is on the final stages before she passes. I live on the west coast she lives on the east coast. She's old and everyone is going to die some day but I'm going to miss her. I'm going to miss her at my wedding someday, I'm going to miss her seeing her great grandchildren someday, I going to miss calling her. They (her family threw her in a nursing home) I kept telling her Grandma I will get a flight right now and come get you. Well she is set in ways and refused. I called the head nurse, grandma can't talk right now and told her to whisper in her ear that her granddaughter had called and that I loved her very much and I had her wedding dress and promised when I did get married I would wear it. If you have a grandma that you are close to call her and tell her you love her.
norajane Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 I'm so sorry, sweets. All of my grandparents are gone now, and I do miss them often...I focus on my parents and other family to make sure they know how I feel about them. *HUGS*
superconductor Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 All my grandparents are long gone now, but I still remember them fondly. John and Helen were my maternal grandparents. He worked in an industrial plant for decades while Helen took care of the kids and the house. He was, in truth, a pretty hard man to deal with, but my grandma was almost always bubbling over with happiness. In her later years, when she was suffering from Alzheimer's (sp?), she'd occasionally just burst into laughter about nothing in particular. She was one of those people who had a lucky and happy life, and reliving her past gave her more of a sense of joy than anything else. Marcus and Elizabeth were on my father's side. He was a very successful businessman and Elizabeth was the matriarch. After Marcus died, we found out about some of his rather questionable business dealings which, unfortunately, left a bit of a sour taste in the mouths of his children and grandchildren. But I always remember him as Gramps, who loved his grandkids. Elizabeth was a severe and difficult woman, very demanding of her children and grandchildren, but she made the best xmas dinners in the history of the planet. I miss them all.
Tony T Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Both of my grandmothers had passed away before I was born. My favorite Uncle (Frank) died when I was 10. My mother died when I was 13. I learned early that life is very fragile and you better speak up to those you love while they're around. It's especially important not to take those you care about who you see everyday for granted. One day, they won't be there anymore. That's just the way it is.
Darkwall Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 She will rest in peace when her time comes just knowing you cared about her. That is the greatest gift you can offer her, your love.
whichwayisup Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 She knows how much you love her...Keep calling daily.
