I am going to try to make this somewhat short lol....
I met my (now) hubby and got pregnant a month later by him....As the weeks were going by I had yet another fall out with my mom..(not uncommon with her). She was pissed that I had found a man that treted me 100times better than what she had..(thats how i percieve it) Anyhow, She started telling my famly that he abused me.My Grammy was upset and hurt by this news. I started having problems in my pregnancy so i went to the ER. ER doctors confirmed that i was not physically abused by Jason. (I knew that...and no he has not ever abused me lol).... Anyways you still could not get my family to believe me. I still can't understand how they would listne to my mom. She was always a trouble maker...
Next thing I knew my grammy had multipule heart attacks. She had surgery and went home. We thought she was doing better until she had another heart attack. (days later). We had to have her taken to a speciality hospital in Indianapolis.
She went in for yet another surgery. Something told me that this surgery was a bad idea. And it was. Her body could not get enough oxygen. So went brain dead on the operating table. They kept her "alive" by keeping her hooked up to machines. We all got to spend some time with her. (I'm crying right now typing this, forgive me). My aunt gave her a rosary right before I went in there. Jason and I hled her hand and talked to her. I told her I loved her and I will miss her. I said my goodbyes. All of a sudden we felt this strong grip on our hands from her. She squeezed our hands as to say I approve of this family you are creating and your relationship. Which meant more to me than anything. She was like a mother to me. She raised me. Jason and I were shocked that here lies my grammy that has no brain activity and she just did this.
No one else in the family got to experience this with her. The Drs did another brain wave afterwards and still showed no signs of life. So my grampy pulled the plug.. It was the hardest day I have ever had to endure. But I am happy that she gave us her blessing.
That was September 8.2001. I had my son Nov 14, 2001.. ( one day after her birthday). And my hubby and I have have another child she will be 3 in Sept. We have been together for a little over 8 yrs now. And we are bery happy together. I do believe I made a good choice with him.
awwww, I am so sorry. But at least you got that last little bit with her and you could tell she approved of your union. That's really wonderful. I got tears in my eyes from reading your story.
Thank you so much for sharing.Also, I noticed that she had pass 3 days before 9/11/01.......that must have been really tough dealing with your grandmother's passing and then that happening.
Many many hugs to you.Thanks so much for sharing.
