- Go to Hearts Are Such Fragile Things
Jemmie, I read this yesterday and thought anything that I wrote would be
woefully inadequate. So, I'm writing today. I just want you to know that I love and care about you.

jems, remember the story about the snake that you told? Well, there is
another story about people gathering in a basement on a bench and an ax is stuck into the ceiling above their heads. The first to arrive came downstairs to get more wine for wedding guests to drink and seeing the ax, began to imagine the worst that could happen to her, the ax could fall on her head and how sad everyone would be about it and she sat down on the bench to cry about future horrors and the sadness that her death would bring to her family.
The next one down the stairs saw her crying and asked her what the problem was and she pointed at the ax in the ceiling and told them of how she could die if it fell on her, the tragedy it would bring to the family. That person sat and cried with her. Eventually the basement filled up with people who sat and cried and they missed the merry making at the wedding on the floor above them. Just a story.

hi jemmie
hope you're feeling a little better after posting. Make the call and then you can work out how to deal with the news and where to go from there - otherwise you'll probably continue to think of all the things that could be wrong instead of whatever positives that might actually exist!

jems, what Pecan said.....and call because you might be able to call your
Grandmother and tell her one last time, if indeed the worst is happening, that you adore her life and hug her over the telephone wires. If it is not the worst, and my Mommy tried to leave us last month and is recovered, then you have been sitting making yourself sick with worry and that is not good for you. Really bad for you, in fact.

Sweety, I'd wrap you up in fat girl hugs right now
if I could. I can remember the day my grandmother died. She was my rock. Gamma still visits me. Have strength! It will be hard through her illness. But You can always talk to her. Pray. Meditate. Call your Aunt. You can't sit in limbo, unknowing. And what if you are making yourself sick; when she will be fine?
