Thank you
They are calling for 2-4 inches of snow today. It just started snowing in lower Maryland and is supposed to snow through to midnight.
I have a set of elderly grands needing help so I am driving over to them bout an hour each way. Hopefully the tards will stay away from me on the road. I know today is one of the most travelled days.
Unfortunately, my granda was put in the hospital christmas eve morning through emergency and he is 85. Looks like a blood infection (bacterial). He is healthy otherwise except for diabeties and general weaknesses due to age.
Meanwhile, My grandma is 87 and having a time going it alone back home. When you've been married for 60+ years you just can't do without each other. At thier ages as well, they are very reliant on each others strenghts and weaknesses but the gaps are huge.
Family stayed with her the first night but I worry endlessly about her. She has been alone two nights now. She is so strong though, she told me on the phone last night "well other people can stay along through the night and I finally figured out that I can do it too".
I was there when she had her first phone call to him in the hospital. She told him "you have to get better and come home, someone has to keep me company and I need you." I know it broke her heart to have him gone for Christmas. The whole ordeal that got him in the hospital almost gave her a heart attack, in her words.
Her trouble is she is not mobile, and uses a walker so chores and stuff is hard for her. She is a shut in too with other health problems and granda did everything outside the home for her.
These people are the whole of my heart and I knew these times were coming someday due to thier ages but it still breaks my heart.
I have never seen two people so loved and in love and I don't know how either is going to make it without the other one. It hurts me that I am an hour away too. I am going to make the most of it as I can and get back over there today though. We do not have a large family so I try to do everything I can for each one as we do not have many to call on when in need.
If you believe in prayer, please lift them both up. Help me find a way to do the right thing and help them get through this physically and emotionally as well. I may need that same prayer myself.
Thank you my jeepz friends for listening.
