As I was heading to work this morning, I got a phone call from my dad about my grandmother. She's battled cancer a few times in her life, and she just recently got cancer again. She got tired of taking her meds for chemo and decided to stop taking them. Last night her heart stopped and she is now in the ICU at Orlando hospital. So I just booked a flight for a few days to go and see her while I still have the chance. This just makes me realize the lack of family I have in my life. She took me in after my mom died when I was 14 and did everything she could to put me on a good path in life. I do not have very good relations with my dad so this is a chance for me to see her and all my other family, and hopefully my dad can make it as well. This is certainly hurting me financially but I'm less concerned about that than I am about her. My flight leaves early tomorrow morning so I took the rest of the day off work to get ready and set up someone to cat sit for me.
I hope she comes through, but death comes for us all eventually. I just want to see her one more time before it comes for her.
