A friend recommended this article to me and I heard a million voices in yours. How heartbreaking to see our elders slipping away.

Someone I know in the nursing profession told me that many of her patients were already relating views of loved ones as they passed. It’s good to know that if we can’t keep them that they are passing into a loving place.

Lingering can be such a hard and painful thing. Sending love to you and your amazing grandfather, and wishing this wasn’t so terribly hard.

I wish you peace and I wish him an easy go of it when he is ready. May he find his heart and you hold yours tightly…

I’m thinking of you and your grandfather. This was achingly beautiful. I say that to you so often. I have a grandmother lying between those rails, wanting it all to be over. She lit up, really and truly, for the two days that I brought my baby boy to visit and I break a little every day that she’s 2000 miles away, laying in that bed and we are here not able to spend her last days with her. It’s so hard. Families are so scattered sometimes.
