The End

I’m not sure if I blogged about my Wife’s Grandpa’s Wife on here or not. She isn’t technically my Wife’s Grandma, but she has been married to her Grandpa for more of my Wife’s life then her real Grandma was. Her Grandma died of cancer in the 80s. Now her second Grandma is dieing of cancer.

Early this year they were staying with us while she was going through treatment in town. They thought they got the cancer in her throat, but then found some in her hip. She has been in a nursing home for the past month because the treatment had made her bones so brittle a simple bump could break something. Two weeks ago they found cancer in her liver. She is so weak now treatment isn’t really an option. It’s only a matter of time now.

When my Wife visited her last night she wasn’t doing so well. She thanked my Wife for all the help we have given them, and she gave her the afghan that she made while in the nursing home.

This weekend her daughter from Arizona is coming up here and will be staying with us for who knows how long. So I guess we will have another house guest for a while. It will be a little bit inconvenient, but you got to do what you got to do to help your family out.

It will be sad when she goes, but it will also be the end of her suffering. She is 83 and lived the long and productive life we all hope for. The end is always sad, but we all have to face it.
