On open letter to Tae

Tae sweetheart. I found myself in you situation. I help my hubby with his granny. We brought her home with us the last seven days of her life. We felt so blessed. She was never clear in the last years of her life. But her last days ...before she had a major stroke...that left her with major brain damage...she was mercily clear. She recogziged my hubby (she help raise him),she recognized the girls...and me. We stayed with her...after the stroke.

After the stroke...what used to be her warm, loving grandma body ...It was only a shell that kept her spirit trapped . Her spirit from soaring with the Lord as she used to call God. And then it was over. But with such a difficulty the body just wouldn't give up.

The hospice people said "She knows your not ready to let go, she knows you still want her here with you. She said leave her for awhile...that this would give permission to leave also. So we left for a two day break. And she left also, while less close yet loving family monitored her care. We felt blessed to know her. She kept teaching us until the end. She thought us to see color deeper, hear clearer, and most of all to know when and how to let go. Because of her and my dad I don't fear death. I have peace.
