10.5 months of borrowed time

It was 11:18 PM when I last held your hand. Five hours before you reconnected with grandpa. You weren't able to speak much, but I knew you heard me. You'd always tell me the next morning while I washing your face. I always knew the day would come when these moments would become a fond memory. I just didn't realize it would hurt that much. I hope the last 10.5 months were as special to you, as it was to me. I'll certainly cherish the the many memories we shared for the rest of my life. In this article, I want to share some of my thoughts on being a caregiver for grandma.
