Praying for Grandma

We found out Friday evening that Aaron's grandmother was put on Palliative care. Which means she has stopped eating and drinking and it's only a matter of days before she passes. We wanted to be able to see her before this happened so we quickly got our stuff together and got on a 10 pm flight up to Toronto. Pretty late night, but the next morning we were able to get to Barrie to visit her for the day before Aaron had go back to work that evening. Here is a picture of Grandma, Aaron and Mason. This is kind of random but if you can see in this picture the necklace Gabby is wearing it was Grandma's. Aaron's mother gave it to Gabby around Easter. She hasn't worn it too often but has insisted these past four days that she wear this necklace and has had it on all day. It's like she knows it's grandmas as she is now passing away. Kind of sweet.

So right now we came back home and are just waiting to hear when it finally happens that she has go to be with the Lord. Going on six days now with no food or water. We're Praising the Lord that she is in no pain and praying that she will go very peacefully. Aaron's mom has been by her side since Friday along with her five brothers. I also think there has been lots of family able to visit her these last few days. Aaron has always told me that his Grandmother has been a very strong lady and at 91 i still think she is still holding true to this.
