I know I said that I wouldn't post until after I got back from vacation, but this is far too important. When I visited my grandmother last Sunday, it was obvious how much she has taken a turn for the worse.
She's not eating, doesn't recognize anyone other than her husband, and literally spends all day sleeping. I have never seen her this frail in my entire life. Definitely even more so than when she was in the hospital in February.
Even though the doctors haven't confirmed it, it's obvious that she's not going to make it until May. This means that even though I'm still going to Texas (believe me, the tickets are nonrefundable), doesn't mean that my heart and mind aren't going to be here. I'm just scared that I'm going to be over there when we "the " call. I don't want that. I want to be here when it happens. I want to be with her when she passes on.
If you pray, pray for us. I need a friend right now.

I'm leaving on a jet plane...
That's right, I'm going to Texas. I try to have one vacation every year and this year it's going to be in San Antonio, Texas. My sister is turning thirty and I'm going to fly out to celebrate. I fly out April 29th and I get back May 3rd.
Now, I've never been to Texas. Obviously it's going to be hot, but my sister informed me that it most likely will also be on the humid side. I seriously doubt it will be as bad as Wisconsin or when she was in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and I know it won't be as bad as Florida. Florida's humidity was absolutely horrid.
She also informed me that they are prone to tornados. I've been watching the Weather Channel lately and they also have given tornado warnings. In a way, that's a good thing. I've always wanted to see a tornado and this may be my chance. I was also told about the black widows, rattlesnakes, and other "interesting" things I might encounter. Sounds like fun.
Anyway, I've been meaning to post more, but with my off-the-wall work schedule and lack of a computer, it makes it more difficult. I will try harder-I swear.
Take care and I will post when I get back.
