Aunt Cathy had her birthday yesterday. When Hospice was first called in nearly two weeks ago, my mother mentioned that my grandmother had hoped Aunt Cathy would make it until her birthday. I thought that sounded awful. I didn't want her to hold on and suffer for that long. However, she doesn't seem to be in pain and isn't suffering in that regard. Mom mentioned my grandmother had said it because she wanted to be able to tell her "Happy Birthday" one more time. I understood that. After all, my grandmother was there when Aunt Cathy came into the world.
Yesterday came and went, and Aunt Cathy is still with us. As I said, there doesn't seem to be pain. I hate to think about her not being here, but things have been so hard for her in the last several years. When she passes, she will be in a better place. My prayers continue for peace for all of our family.
