Grandma Grape

I received news yesterday my beautiful Grandmother was sick.  She's in the hospital where they can keep her comfortable and see to her every whim.  You know what?  That's really not good enough as far as I am concerned!  She doesn't belong there!  She belongs in her little yellow house on the side of the hill not in some hospital.  Did I ever tell you how much I hate hospitals?  They take people I love away from me.  Mama, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, Miss Kay, all have left me now.  And each time one leaves they take a piece of me with them.  I'm not ready for my life to change again so I'm going to be selfish this time and say NO! Pick someone else please!

We have plans, Grandma and I.  We have plans to finish a quilt she has been working on for oh so long! Several years ago I bought her a quilt top with a peacock motif.  It had been piece together by a group of Amish women.  Grandma's mother's maiden name was Peacock so I have always looked for symbols of the Peacock and given them to her whenever I found them.   So naturally when I spotted this on one of my travels I bought it for her.  She has added to it and enlarged it beyond the initial size.  The quilt is a beautiful prize to behold and with just one week we will have it complete!  Not 2 weeks ago we made plans to finish it.

We have also made plans for our famous ride.  You see I'm suppose to drop in at the local What-A-Burger and pick up a hot dog.  Then I drive over and bribe her with a it.  Once I get her in the Mater Car we gallivant all over the countryside visiting all her siblings and basically where ever she wants to go!  After all I'm her favorite because I kidnap her and take her places no one else does!  lol

She a special lady to us all.  She is our anchor, the very core of our family.  Without her where would we all be?  How will we negotiate our everyday lives?  Where will we go from here?  I pray she pulls thru this because without her I'm not sure if our family knows how to breathe.  We love you Grandma Grape! God I know this is selfish of me but you can't have her, not yet.....
