My Grandma


Last week when my Mom went to visit my Grandma in the nursing home, she found her unresponsive. She immediately called for the nurses who at first couldn't find a heart beat, but Grandma did start gasping for air and trying to open her eyes. She was very confused and weak. Hospice told my Mom to call her brothers and let them know because she will most likely have more episodes like this as it seems her body is shutting down. After telling the girls that Great Nana's heart wasn't working right, they said they wanted to make sure they saw her before she died, so we decided to make the trip to Muskegon. Sabra said, "My Daddy can fix her heart!" It was so precious to know that she has so much faith in her daddy, but I had to explain to her that no matter how good Daddy is at fixing things, only God could fix Great Nana's heart.

Although Grandma seems to be doing well, we are glad we went. Her body still isn't functioning at 100%. Grandma is ready to go home to be with the Lord and has asked on several occasions why God hasn't taken her home yet. We just keep telling her that He isn't done with her on earth yet--that she still has a purpose to serve.


I love this picture of Martha focusing on Grandma's face.
