The day basically just started for me... My mom already had to give my grandfather morphin... he seems really weak. It was 7 when he called me in and he was still in bed... he's normally up and eating his breakfast no later then when my mom leaves at 5:30... I have a feeling the time is real close though... our dogs all followed me into the room and it was a pain getting them out... the 1 I had to carry out cause every time I opened the door she ran right back in. The 1 that normally spends all day with him stood at his door for at least a half hour yesterday barking cause nobody let her in after the hospice nurse left.... they say he had 2-6 months left but I don't think it will be that long... My aunt is coming Friday, is cousins are coming Saturday and sometime this weekend my cousins are supposed to come... maybe that's what he was waiting for... a chance for everyone to say goodbye to him. I don't wanna say goodbye though...

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
Our little dog (he died a few months ago) knew before we did that my husband had cancer. The month before they found it the dog would set on his lap all day and just stare at him. Before this he would set on hubbys lap in the morning then at night he was on my lap.
Sweetie, I know where you are. My mom passed in May from brain cancer and she was in so much pain before the hospice people took over. I know how very hard it is to watch and hear someone you love hurt so much.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your granddad as you work through this very difficult part... God Bless...
