So I've known for years and years that my grandmother has had multiple kinds of cancer. I've known since high school that she's had Lukemia but I've never known that my grandmother has had colon cancer since I was in high school as well. My mom hasn't really been keeping me up to date on her mom and I just recently lost an uncle to Lung Cancer. It killed him pretty quickly and they couldn't do anything for him. My grandmother is the only grandparent I have left and she has lived for all of these years with her cancer (I graduated high school way back in 2004 so she's had her cancer for well over 20 years) so she should be considered lucky and she is 94 years old but I just don't want to see her go. Her cancers have always been in a low stage and non dangerous and they've only just recently jumped into the danger zone to where she could die within the next few months to next year.
When my dad's parents passed away I was devastated and my wife had to try to pick up the pieces of my shattered life and when my mom's dad passed away I didn't have her to console me but now it's becoming all too real. My sister and I are our grandmother's favorite grandchildren and she barely even remembers who we are anymore. She used to send us cards every year for our birthday and then she started to forget our birthdays which was totally unlike her.
It's becoming time to let go of my last grandparent I am afterall almost 40 years old and I'm lucky to still have a living grandparent at my age but, I just don't want to let go. Please pray for us and pray that my grandmother goes peacefully or optimistically dies from old age and not cancer.
