I posted this picture tonight after finally getting back to the hotel to express the absurdity of it all.  My grandma has been unresponsive since they found her in her apartment yesterday, and then an MRI this afternoon confirmed the worst…….my grandma had a massive stroke yesterday from which she will not recover.

And on a day that was filled with the worst kind of news, I noticed the tag upon her bed that you see in the picture…..and it DID make me laugh.  My grandma is not a risk at this point for doing anything other than getting bed rest (there is a sign on her door that identifies her as a fall risk too – but I have a one silly picture per post policy) but at least it made me laugh.  I mean even a blind nurse could see that she is not going anywhere, but in truth, a blind nurse would not need a sign.

But the bottom line is that my grandma will make the transition from this life to the next very soon, and it is much ore of a surprise than it was with my mom.  My grandma JUST moved into assisted living two weeks ago, and her pictures are even yet hung on her walls.  She was loving it in her new place too.  And there is great satisfaction for us all that she was enjoying it so much.  My only wish is that my mom would have lasted a little longer so she didn’t have to deal with that stress.

So Scotty, Ben, and I are at the hotel for one more night.  I know what is coming, but I shall approach it with a faithful heart.  My grandmother was a blessing to me every single solitary day of my life.  I will celebrate that, and thank God for the blessing she was to me, and continues to be.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
