DUer Rambis' mother probably won't make it through the weekend.

[cyberswede]

She just turned 91, but is failing fast (went to the hospital Thursday night, into Hospice Friday, feeding & breathing tubes removed yesterday).

She's a sweet lady, but has been frail for quite some time. I think Rambis and his siblings know it's her time; it's still hard. She's my mother-in-law, and I've known her since I was 21.

Today is our daughter's 11th birthday...I just hope her gramma can hold on till tomorrow. Is that selfish?

1. Of course it's not selfish, my dear cyberswede...

I understand why you feel the way you do...I am right there with you!

May her passing be easy...

2. Thank you for the kind words. nt

3. My Grandfather died on my birthday...

No, you're not being selfish.

4. Thank you...

and I'm sorry about your grandfather dying on your birthday.

We decided that if she were to pass today, we would tell the kids she died on the 13th. A well-intentioned white lie.
