Happy Mother's day to all the Mothers out there. Got to tell this, as it always comes back to me on Mother's Day-
When my Mother was in the Nursing home and very bad, I got a call from the home one morning, after her being there five years. They said they didn't believe she would make it thru that day. I went right down there and spent the day with her. I held her hand a lot and watch her slowly slip away. I was with her as she died and even though very sad, it was wonderful to be there & say I loved her as she went away. Probably one of the greatest gift I ever got from a wonderful Mother whom I loved so much.
I prayed a lot that day & talked to her, even though I'm not sure she could hear me. In some ways, although she could not talk & had her eyes closed I feel she did hear me. I thank God for this gift of letting me be with her.

I think Grandma knew you were there, and could hear your words. She must have been glad to have you with her at the end.
