We knew it was coming after three years of cancer, but it was still a shock. I think mine and yours would have gotten along well ... mine liked to tease people all the time and be a practical joker, even making brillo pad sandwiches for truckers' lunches (don't even begin to ask, because I don't know).

It was cancer and she wasn't going to last long. I had talked to her on the phone when she was in the hospital and I could barely recognize her. So, instead of trying to come home to see her die, I just waited til the funeral. Chickenshitmove? Maybe. I just didn't want to see her like that. <br /><br />I sometimes have to wonder if I'd want anyone to see me like that, or if I'd be bummed that they didn't come to see me. Tough choices, man.<br /><br />Thanks for this post.

I was living in a different city - about six hours away from where she was - debating whether or not I should go see her. It was my parents who advised me not to come, she's not the same woman I'd remember. My Grandfather gave me just a short account of what she was like in those last days, and it was nothing like I'd have remembered her. I never did go see her towards the end, and I have to say I'm glad I didn't. My memories of my Grandmother are those of a funny, loving woman who was filled with life. I'm happy that I literally <i>can't</i> think of her any other way.<br /><br />Good post today though, Brendan.
