Gods Hands.

Today, I went to see my grandmother ( pictured left ) in the hospital. About three months ago she was diagnosed with Melanoma Cancer, which is cancer of the skin. We were told she would have about 2 - 3 months to live: were on month 3 right now. Yesterday, I overheard my step - dad talking to someone on the phone about my grandmother having (n) pneumonia (respiratory disease characterized by inflammation of the lung parenchyma (excluding the bronchi) with congestion caused by viruses or bacteria or irritants).

As I was getting ready for church this morning, my mother came in and told me she wouldn't be able to take me today and that she had to hurry to the hospital: my grandmother had slipped into a coma. I was terrified: I've never had anything like this happen. I had to stay home with my siblings, for three hours, and wait for a call from my mom. Finally she came home around 12:00, and told me what all was happening. She was still sleeping alot when my mom came home. So we all took our daily naps, and around 5:45ish my step dad called and told my mom that if we ( my brother, sister and I ) wanted to see Rara today we would have to go up there. So we went up, and we saw her. I talked to my grandmother, and she told me some great things that I will always cherish. She said to me, from what I understood: "Sammy, Your such a beautiful girl. Never forget that, and follow Your heart. ( I believe she was talking about God at this time, but I couldnt exactly understand her. ) Look at how far He's carried everyone else, look at it. Dont get mixed in with the bad people. Dont let them get You." These words will forever be in my heart.

The reason Im really writing this, is to just say how blessed I feel. I love this woman to death, and it took me too long to realize it. My mom married my step dad November 30th of 2002. I did not like my step dad, and I did not like his family. We all lived in Florida for about, oh Id say four / five years together, then we all moved to North Carolina. It wasn't until about a year ago, when I started actually accepting him and his family: Im so glad I have. Anyways, Im just so thankful to be a grand daughter to Myra Taborek. She's such a great inspiration to me. She was an RN, a great mother, a wonderful gardner, skilled at cooking, and a great advice giver. I know Im going to miss her so much when God takes her, but Ill be glad to know she will be in good hands: Gods hands.
