She's Gone

[OverwhelmedMomm]

If you read my last post then you know that my Granny was having trouble at the nursing home yesterday. Well, after getting her pulse back after she died there, they rushed her to the ER, where they lost her again. They couldn't bring her back this time. They did all they could and let us go back to say our goodbyes. I really didn't want to, but i thought if i didn't i would surely regret it, so i went back to that room. And that's what i regret. There was my granny laid upon that table, all of her children surrounding her sobbing while the nurses tried to bring her back to life. A girl was standing over my granny pumping away on her chest trying her best to put life back into my granny. That's the worst i've seen in a long time. It was almost like walking into a movie seen - it just couldn't be real. But it was.

Our pastor was there when it happened and he brought comfort to our entire family, but it wasn't a comfort that lasted. It was something i'll never forget.

I was planning to go see my granny today to see how she was doing and if she needed anything. I didn't get that chance. The last time i saw her was on July 4th. This goes to show that you can never wait to do anything. If you plan to do it, do it then. Nothing lasts forever and life is too short to let the days just slip by. I've learned this twice this year, 1st with my grandma in February and now with my granny. You have no way of ever knowing if you or the ones you love will be here tomorrow.
