a month - my grandmother

so i know i've been missing for over a month, but i have good reason... my grandmother has been in the hospital... my month has been full of emotional ups and downs, wishes and prayers, family visits and friends... all culminating to one question: what will happen?

yesterday they gave us a private room... we know it's because it's her last days, they know too... but they don't want to say it... it's really hard to watch someone dying, and know that any moment they will take their last breath...

i've written more in the past month than i have in a very long time... it's amazing how life and death can bring out so many shades of a person... though i can't say what will happen (or when will be the next time i post something), i will be back after this hiatus - likely with a new sense of appreciation...

have a wonderful day, because today is your life...
