So, it's been a rather long weekend for me. Flew home and spent time with my girlfriend and my good friend Chris, they met my family, and all that fun jazz. In the midst of all the introductions, my grandmother had a massive stroke and slipped into a coma. She had spent the last 3 days like that. I flew back into Denver this afternoon and recieved a phone call from my parents, she had passed away. I don't really know what to say or do. It's been a confusing couple of days. She was the kind of lady who always tried her hardest to make you understand that she cares. And that's what makes it the hardest. It's also hard to see my family react, there were some things I was told that happened before she passed, and it was gut wrenching. One of those things was that someone at the hospital had told my family that although she was still in a coma, she can still hear and understand everything. Before she had slipped into that coma, she requested one thing, pictures of her family. So that's what they brought. My mom and my uncle set all of her pictures of all of our family members and quietly let her know that we were all with her. They momentarily left the room and came back to find a tear rolling down her cheek, two hours later she passed away. She somehow knew exactly what was happening, and that it was her time to go, and with us all there, she did. With that said, my glass is to you grandma...
