We took a drive to Yuma for a surprise birthday party for my tia Mayela at Mayita's house for tia's 64th birthday. This is the first party that she's ever had thrown for her. It was a great night! I'm so glad that we went. We also got to see grandma. She's on her last days. She knows it and welcomes it and wants it, even. She's in pain. She has to be taken care of. She hates that. It hurts her pride. We see it in her when we were with her. The fact that she can't walk, move, pee, change, or shower on her own is hard for her to even grasp. She is allowing her children to take care of her and her needs.
I reached out to Maribelita last night about grandma's state. I know grandma would have wanted to see her before she passed and not at the funeral, so to speak....Maribelita got on a flight to SD that night! I didn't see it until the morning, but when I did, I was so happy and excited!
