long day’s night

by on October 4, 2009

Today my Grandfather would have been 91.

We spent most of the day with GM at the nursing home. W and I are home now and Mother has driven back to spend the night in a chair next to GM’s bed.

It was a hard day for all.

May your sorrow be brief and your memories everlasting.

I may not know you, but follwing your journey and your outstanding commitment and relationship with your grandmother, I am deeply saddened.

Gosh, I feel like a fool. In a fatigue induced stupor I responded before reading the entire post. I thought it said my grandmother would have been 91. Forgive my foolishness.

I hope she sees him soon. Think how happy and excited she’ll be. Little consolation, but it has to be enough.
