Reply #15: I disagree -- my grandfather, DHs grandmother, and a friend of the [View All]

[KaliTracy]

family were called "this close" -- in fact -- when my mom called me about my grandfather, and that it wasn't going to be much longer, my boss at the time refused to let me go because he wasn't "dead" yet (I was a waitress at the time, and it was mother's day weekend). My grandfather didn't last the weekend, and I left after getting that call, and stayed away an extra day or so -- but I still wish I had just left when I was told it was time.

Grandfather had cancer -- was at home in hospice care.

Friend of family had prostate cancer -- and was in hospice care.

Grandmother (DH's grandmother) was over 95, and was in hospice care.


** I should mention I was about 3 and 1/2 hours away from where grandfather was.
