Where do I even begin? I will ask you to pray for my family in the next week or so (and beyond if you like). I got a call from my sister yesterday evening that my grandma had passed away yesterday afternoon. That comes as an incredible shock, as she was not sick. In fact, she had been doing really well, better than she had been in quite sometime. Last summer she was VERY sick with pneumonia and a few other opportunistic infections, but she had healed quite well. As most of you know, I was out visiting them in Calgary less than a month ago and she seemed to be doing so well. They took us out for supper, her and my mom went shopping for a short trip as she did tire out a lot more quickly than she used to. I guess yesterday afternoon she laid down for a nap, and just never woke up. I suppose that is a good way to go, but yeah, very shocking.
My mom is flying out to Calgary today to help start the funeral planning, and the rest of us will probably fly out next week once we know when the funeral is planned for. Isn't it amazing how a single call can just turn your life upside down like that?! I worry about my grandpa, as he depended on her for a LOT and with him being so stubborn, I don't know if anyone will be able to convince him to move out of their huge house. I am thinking that he may not be far behind grandma, but also with his stubborness he may just live for another 15+ years (he is currently 87 and grandma was 82). So please remember my family in your prayers this week.
