I got the message a couple of months ago that my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. I tried to visit her as much as possible, but school was getting in the way most of the time. I managed to see her in the hospital for one day during this entire time period, which was last week. During my brief visit there, I was able to communicate a little bit with her, but it was difficult to hear what she was saying due to her complete loss of energy.
I was always close to my grandmother, so naturally I'm in shock now hearing that she passed away yesterday. I really wish I could have visited her more during the last year. It really does make me realize how precious time is, especially with the ones you love.
Condolences would be appreciated.
