kickahaMy grandma is dying back home. Pneumonia, and she's refusing food, water, and antibiotics. She's tired, and wants to rest. She might not make it through the night, almost certainly won't make it past sunset tomorrow.
I didn't figure she'd last long after moving to the nursing home after Christmas, but I rather hoped she'd make it until our next trip next month. Damn. Her Parkinson's and dementia have progressed to the point that phone calls have been fairly disturbing for both of us in the last few months, so I'm not sure even calling would be useful. She deserves some peace.
Rest well, grandma. We'll miss you.

Perhaps, if you're feeling really compelled to call, a call to a nearby relative, who can carry a message? That way she isn't disturbed by the dissension between the you that's calling and the you she remembers? (I'm guessing she remembers you more as 'Little J----'...)
