I guess Grandma is doing well. Dad came home today.
My Aunt and two of her kids are going there this weekend. My sister and her husband are going down as well.
I'll wait a few weeks. I'll go down to see her in a few weeks. By then she'll be wanting to see some family again. And maybe she'll be well enough that I can do something useful for her.
I never really had the feeling that she was going to die. Of course I still thought about what would happen if she did. I'm not one to worry about things like that, though. If something is out of my hands, I just wait to see what happens. Sometimes this comes off as uncaring.
Over the last few days I kept thinking that I hadn't talked to her since Thanksgiving. I always felt satisfied that I spoke to or visited her often enough that I wouldn't say any of those "if only's." But I never called her around Christmas like I intended. And I still haven't told her about my girlfriend. I'm sure she knows about Cindy by now, but I haven't told her myself. She'd always ask me if I've found someone special, and for once I could tell her "yes," and I'm very glad I'll still have that chance. **
