Went to see Ruth Anne today again, she is getting weaker and it is showing. She aspirated a few days ago and seems to be coughing more than usual. Scotty J was there with his mom Dorothy so that made her happy. I'm so glad that his innocence could see past the dire situation and he gave her a big kiss and said I love you Grandma.
She was trying so hard to talk today, but her messages were not getting through. Finally I grasped her hand and told her just to sit with me a while.......and that I would miss her.
I didn't know what else to say, but sat there crying.....I will miss my big sister so much.

She is going home soon
They told us she has but a few weeks left.......I'm so sad I can barely stand it, but can't be selfish....she needs relief from this horrible condition and disease.......
