Final arrangements

I just got a call from my Mom asking if I would be a pallbearer for my grandfather's funeral. I told her yes, but it would be contingent on my being able to arrange the absence with my professors.

He's now totally unresponsive and has to have a feeding tube.

It's just a matter of time. As Mom and I were discussing, we don't want to lose him, but we don't want him lingering on and suffering.

My deepest sympathies. I understand the waiting for the inevitable as I watched others I loved wither away.

Have strength.

Hugs.
