Gramma is dying. That's the news I got last night. Hospice is coming to help her through the final stages of her life. I imagine she has helped others - family, friends, countless farm animals and companions - through these same stages. Anyone who has lived as long as she has knows how it plays out.
Gramma has lived a good life. She taught me how to live too.
Right now, one of the things she's missing are her memories. I have some of them and I'm taking good care of them.
