Catz,
Hope Tim gets better soon. Bug going round, perhaps. Sherman, hubby and me all down with coughs. Sherman & me got fever but so far low grade fever only and he's still happy and alert.
My grandma passed away yesterday at the ripe old age of 93. She had a stroke 8-9 years ago and was partially paralysed then. Was admitted for heart failure last week, later got discharged, but within a few days, got pneumonia and left us within another 2 days of being admitted. Mixed feelings about her death... kind of like a relief for her many years of suffering, yet still so sad that she had to endure the suffering for so many years and continue to live feeling so depressed and sick all the time. Although she had so many grandchildren and great grandchildren, she didn't really get to enjoy playing with her great grandchildren much because she was bedridden or wheelchair bound a lot of the time. We didn't think she would live so long after her stroke, yet somehow it's not really such a good thing that she did last so long. I can understand fully why she was so depressed and was always telling people she wants to die. I think I would feel the same. I took Sherman to see her for the last time on Sat even though we were all sick. She didn't open her eyes and I know he didn't understand. My little boy was the only one smiling yesterday at the wake but we didn't stay long since the whole family is still sick. Might not bring him to the funeral tomorrow. See how. Sorry for rambling...
