Stuart: "Grandma, you have a doctor's appointment today."  Margaret: "What is he going to tell me... that I'm old!?"

Life has been interesting with my 94 year-old grandma living with us.  We are in the process of moving her into an assisted living facility.  She is very witty and loving and pleasant to be with, but she is also very confused.  I woke her up the other day and she thought I was her deceased husband.  It is difficult to see her slowly fade, but she tells us very plainly that she is not afraid to die.  She says she's lived a long life and done the best with what she's had.  Pray for us as we make this transition.  Pray that we lose our fear of death like my grandma has.
