10-23-1928 to 8-22-2009
Here we are at the beginning of week two, being transferred to a more peaceful wing of the hospital. No more beeping machines, constant blood pressure checks and hourly poking and prodding from nursing staff; just the comfort of family and a perpetual morphine drip.
24 hours prior to her passing. My poor exhausted mom taking a quick nap. :(
Out of all the flower arrangements this was my favorite; from my Grandmas Sister in Germany. Some of my most cherished memories were made spending summers in Germany with my grand parents.
The service was perfect! The non-denominational ordained minister put together a spectacular service, documenting my Grand Mothers full life. It wasn't too churchy for the non-believers in attendance (as per my request). It was a sweet good bye to a great woman and a warm hello to cherished life long memories.
On August 22, 2009 at 10:37pm, my grand mother passed away. It was a terribly emotional two weeks for the family. My Mom spend every minute by her Moms side, My sister and I would alternate spending nights with our mom and grandma, while attempting to juggle our own families, jobs and school. I just hope that when its my time to go, I have someone as dedicated as my mom, comforting me as I take my last breaths in this world. This shot was take some time in week one in the cardiac care unit.
