Last night we were lying in bed and James phone rang. Usually our phone doesn't ring once we're in bed and when it does we hope that it is important...And this call was. It was James Dad, I could tell from James voice something terrible had happened. James Grandma passed away, she was 81. He didn't get any of the details, but soon after talked to all 4 of his siblings and got a little more information. One minute she was saying goodnight, she talked to herself a bit and when James sister checked on her a few minutes later, apparently she just stopped breathing. She had been sick and vomiting for a few days, and has been bed ridden for quite some time. We knew this was coming at some point, but I think you can't ever prepare yourself for the actual time it takes place.
We decided not to tell our kids anything until they get home from school today. They weren't very close with her, but still death can be scary and something not many of us want to deal with.
So, we ask for your prayers for all the family...The services will be next week some time.
