I am still here. Taking a bit of an hiatus for a few days. Some might know (some might not), however, my great grandmother is in ICU this week.
Okay...shes 83 years old. The MIKE EATON ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS THE MEMORIAL DAY COOKOUT 2009, is Sunday, and I love to sit and talk with her.
I mean, really!
Everyone kinda sees her as being "ceinial" (sp.) and absent minded because shes old...Lol I think she knows that I know she is not, and that in actuality, she is okay, but she doesn't want her old age to kick her behind.
So, the doctors tell us she has a 50/50 chance.
I say, "No, she will be okay."
The nurse says she has a 50/50 chance.
I say, "Mama is okay. She will be at the shindig Sunday."
The surgeon says she has a 50/50 chance.
I say, "I dont care you had years of medical school dammit. Mama will be just fine. She is just a bit under the weather, she will be back to herself, and I will go to her house, and have my long awaited conversation with her."
I am so serious! I mean I am going to sit at her house and ask her what I should do for Grad school, and what she thinks of the school system! Talking to "mama" (what we call her) is wonderfully refreshing. Actually someone who listens and just longs for a nice conversation. Holmes© is so proud lol. I believe my strong opinion that Mama is okay is making Holmes© feel much better.
Plus Mama always makes me laugh!
(Just asking, if you could just pray for Mama that she makes a speedy recovery! Thanks. And I'll continue the A Masters Mind either later today, or Tomorrow.)

You know it sir. I LOVE the generation above my parents' and grandparents' in my family... They have all the good stories that folk keep trying to hide.
I'm praying for your mama..a speedy recovery for sure. I love all the amazing amount of hope your family has..it's beautiful. Makes me wish I had grandparents (technically I do..but I've never met them).
you love her and she's lucky. I am sure she totally loves you too. Keep us posted
@manofcivility - Yes, and 90% of the time they are irrelevalent to whatever your talking about!
@dareIIdream - Yes, shes stubborn like me, she wont go anywhere without a fight. This is my great grandmama we are talking about! I have to kinda keep them all positive otherwise, they are totally blah.
@Loonsounds - Definitely, shes doing better, but still on the ventilator. But thank you for the well wishes!
