Mema

Mema with the pink pony she wished for.

This is my granddad. (he's not my mema's husband, it's the one on the other side of the family.)

They live in the care center too. Isn't he so cute???

We went and saw Mema today. They moved her back to the care center in Slaton last weekend. The place she was in Lubbock was really pushing to ampitate her foot, but the family has decided to do preventative care and let her live out the rest of her life peacefully. She has gangrene, so she has anywhere from days to a couple of weeks before she will pass on from this life. Fortunately, she has been disconnected from the pain, so she feels nothing. I've been trying to get out there and see her as often as I can, because we all know the end is nearing soon. I took some pictures of her and the kids today. Madi always provides comic relief in sad situations. She was pretending to be a fairy godmother and make Mema's wishes come true, but she only lets you wish what she can really give to you. So she told Mema, "you want a pony, don't you!" And what do you know, 2 seconds later appeared a pink unicorn. It's been in Mema's room for as long as she's lived there. She even gave Mema one of her bracelets to wear. God bless her, she is truly a "grand mother"...I know you won't see this, but I love you dearly Mema!
