our sweet grandma

We took the boys to Hospice tonight to see their great-grandma. She's so sweet. She can hardly open her eyes anymore and she wants to talk but cannot seem to get any words out at this point. It's hard for a 2-year old to understand, but Daniel did great. He asked "why" a lot tonight---wondered why she was sleeping and wouldn't open her eyes. He said, "I love you great-grandma," and gave her a handmade card that he worked on last week. Too cute. William giggled while we stood next to grandma's bed and he gave her a little pat on the forehead.

It's really hard to believe that 6 weeks ago, she was at our house for Will's birthday party. Grandpa died just over a month ago---about 3 weeks ago she fell and broke 3 bones and now she is in Hospice care. It all happened very fast. Great to see her tonight.

Oh Abbie, thinking about you guys. Seems like so often one cannot live without the other. Big hugs to you all.
