Due to her agitation of having tubes down her throat and nose the family decided that she had finally had enough of tests, tubes, and being poked and prodded all of the time.
I know it was such a struggle to know what to do. A family prayer was said circled around grandma and the decision was apparent of what had to be done. We needed to love her enough to let her go. A strong feeling of comfort and peace came into the room as we all knew that grandpa who passed away 6 years ago wanted her back in his arms again. We all could feel the strong presence of his spirit and knew that he was here to be reunited with his sweetheart once again.
Grandma was moved to a care center today and all tubes were removed. She is resting comfortably and is at peace. We were able to awaken her a little bit tonight and as I told her I loved her, she puckered her lips and tried to kiss my cheek. She also whispered the words "I love you too." She is in such a weakened condition that you are really not able to get much from her and this really meant the world to me and will probably be the last time I will hear that from my Grandma.
I love her so much and know that she will be free from her pain and suffering soon. Today in the hospital, for a brief moment I pictured my grandparents embrace when they see each other again. I know it will be such an amazing happy time for them both! I know that their love with continue through eternity and it will continue to grow and grow. I love her so very much and will miss her dearly. I am so thankful that they were sealed in the temple and that our families will be all together for eternity.
I love this song and especially how sweet it is coming from a little child.
