Thank you ladies for all of the hugs and prayers. I called the hospital and spoke to my grandmother last night. She was completely coherent for the 15 minutes we were on the phone. She told me how excited she was that in a few months, there would be a baby girl in the family, even if she may not be there to meet her. Chat Icon
She told me to please not cry for her, she is ready to go see all of the people she loves who have gone before her. I know her heart aches for her parents, her best friend who died 4 years ago, and my grandfather, every day. She says she can't imagine what it will be like when she gets to see them again, but thinking about it gives her overwhelming joy. I get great peace from that, but my heart is still broken. I have to remember what she always told me...when someone dies, we don't cry for them, because they are ok. We cry for the ones left behind, they are the ones in pain.
Thanks for listening to my rambles ladies. Chat Icon Chat Icon I appreciate all your support. I am going to just take this one day at a time, and for today I am going to focus on taking care of my son. There is nothing more I can do for my grandmother, but Joey needs me. I never thought this would break my heart, but it is. My heart stops every time the phone rings.
And by the way, our little girl was going to be Olivia. DH and I agreed, her name will now be Grace- after her great grandma.
