Tim called me this morning to let me know that they took his mom from the nursing home to ICU at the local hospital in the middle of the night with congestive heart failure. She was eighty-one in July and she had just started to feel at home at the health care center. She has Alzheimer's - with good days and bad days. Someday I'm going to write a collection of Adventures-With-Grandma short stories - they will be a hoot. Please remember her in your prayers - her name is Shirley. I'm really glad Tim got a chance to go and see her the weekend before last. I know she'd be just as happy to go on to be with Pop, but I don't think Tim is ready for that just yet.
Dawn, so sorry to hear about her, I've always enjoyed your letters with all the stories about her! I wish her the best of everything, and hopefully a wonderful recovery.
ReplyDeletePlease let Ms. Shirley know that we send prayers from south Texas. We hope from strength, peace, and healing.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you all.

Ms. Shirley and your family are in my prayers. And I would love to hear some stories about what a hoot she is.
