impending death...

[solstice_sings]

In my life, I have only rarely been exposed to death, first my Father when I was thirteen, then my grandpa in my 20s... very recently my Aunt Laurel.  My father was the only one I was ever really close to, and it's been... seventeen years.  My dad's death was sudden, a final result to a mental illness that took his life, and in a way it was

You breathe. That is hard to do in times like these.

You be with her. Don't treat her any differently though - her personality is still the same, it's just her body that is changing.

Tell her you love her. Tell her how her being in your life has lifted you up and influenced her.

Vent and rage and cry with us, we will hold you up.

Im so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I know it's hard. Just be there for her now, and know that after she will always be there with you. You have lots of friends and family who is also supportive of you. It's ok to lean a little. Just remember that goodbye is not forever, it's just for right now. Don't forget to share your happy memories with your children. That way they too can feel that much closer to her just like you.

I'll tell you something else you can do. Be the best Father you can possibly be to your children. You should also put together a book of memories about her, including your favourite stories, photos and anecdotes about her, so one day you can tell your children all about her, and just why she was such an important part of your life.

I think she would like us to visit with the kids . A just say hello for 5-15 min what every is the best at the time .

-Some time with in the next week I need someone to look after the kids when I pull the weeds out from your mom's garden. She is really busy looking after Marj and the garden really needs some work on it. I told her I would help out and weed the garden and I think you and Jeff could easily look after the kids when I'm doing that. :)

-Me and Lillian are going to do some baking. We can gets some homemade goodies together for her. Cookies,muffins,bars ect
