Grandpa M&M called and needed Grandma up at the hospital. She and Pa were heading for the door and talking about something that needed to be done. Grandma then said something about money and having to go to the bank. She stopped, started crying and said "I can't do it, Dad always takes care of that now".
The words had no more then crossed her lips when she stopped crying and announced that she would just have to learn how to do it again, now, because he did it for her when she got sick and she would do it for him.
It was just a moment in time. One of those moments that writers and movie makers spend a lifetime trying to tell about. The moment were you see the vows, that were taken on a day that seems like a blur to most of us, encompass the whole of your world and bloom fresh yet again.
I don't think I will ever forget it, I hope I don't because it is among the truest and best of this world.
Tomorrow Grandpa will go to the rehab center and we are hoping he will only be there a short time. Grandma will be busy helping, as much as she can get away with.
Aunt SilverBell maybe home soon and she may just have to help with her recovery. There is no doubt that what ever needs to be done Grandma will want to have a hand in it.
She's got grit.
