My family and I

[ArkansasMystic]

Well guys, there's really no way for me to say what I would like to say. Words just can't express what's going on right now. I just got a call today to find out my grandmother passed away. She was 91 years old. She was very active up until about 2 1/2 weeks ago. She was still in pretty good health (had her problems but no suffering). She had problems with a valve in her heart and choose to have open heart surgery to get a new valve put in. She was determined to do it, if she didn't it'd just been a matter of months before the day came. She made it through the surgery, wasn't doing great bud had been doing well considering her age and what she had gone through. After 2 1/2 weeks the moved her from the hear hospital to a rehab center (moved her first thing this morning). She just got moved in and her blood pressure dropped significantly and she had to be sent to the emergency room. Few hours later, ICU. Another hour or two, she passed on. She lived a good life, and went without much suffering/pain. That I'm thankful for. I know she's in a better place and that there's a reason for everything, but it's still hard. I lost my mother back in 01 to cancer, and now her mother (who helped raise my brother and I for a few years after my mother's death). It's just a difficult situation. I'm sorry for the long post, I just have to talk to someone. I ask that all you guys keep myself and my family in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks guys.

Much appreciated guys. We knew this was coming, and we tried to be as ready for it as possible. However, nothing can really get you ready for something like this. It'll all work out, it may just be crazy for the next couple of days but time heals everything. Thank you all!

Sorry to hear that. Like others before me said, if you need anything, just ask. I know I speak for pretty much everybody who takes part in this group when I say that we all would do whatever it takes to help out one another.
