Love each other

Tuesday right before my chem final I was sitting with Gran and talking to her. I That was after she had gotten up and walked around and she said that it was so great she did that after the doctors told her she wouldn't. She had to have the last word on that. ^_^ I told her I had my chem final and she said, "You'll do fine," and I told her I hoped I would, but the day after that I had a final that I didn't think I could pass. She said:

"You'll do great no matter what, baby."

I told her "Thanks Gran. I'll see you later okay?" I gave her a kiss and she said:

"See ya later, sweetieface."

While I was in school, Chrissie visited her and talked to her a while. She told Grandma, "You did a good job with us, you know?" And Gran said:

"Of course! When there's a lot, there's always a few honeypots in the bunch."

Then she watched a little TV and went to sleep. At some time she woke up and looked at what was probably a picture of me and said, "Meghan" a few times. (Incidentally, when Spencer saw her last I think the last thing she said to him was, "My handsome boy.")

Tuesday night was when it started to get worse and worse and for all of wednesday and today she could no longer breathe but kept trying anyway. That's the only thing I would change, if I could. And I would have gotten the gardenias that would have bloomed sooner but I didn't think it would be this fast

Yesterday she woke up for a few minutes and told my Mom, "Love each other." Then she went back to sleep.

Mom, Dad, Chrissie and I stayed with her till around 3:30 this morning, and none of us knew what she was waiting for. Then we thought, well maybe she doesn't want us around when she goes? So Chrissie and I left. We both figured she wouldn't make it through the night but this morning, she was still here. She seemed a lot calmer too.

Around 2:30, Chrissie brought Celie over and then it was just Mom, me, Chrissie and Celie. We sat around her and finally we started talking, and laughing about when the three of us were kids and how we were her "old school" girls--and we are--and all the fun we all had growing up together and then, at 3:12 while we were all sitting there talking, she stopped and it was real quiet. It was like she was waiting for all of us to be together.

These are two pictures from last Spring which I love:




And this is the last pic I have of Gran, from Gavin's birthday party at the end of February:
.

I had been keeping track of everything she was saying, as you can see. She wasn't alone at any time so the last thing she said to anyone was "love each other."
