One half hour before the end of an era
Mama called us at about 9am. Right now, our clocks show 9:37am. At around 10am, we are accompanying Mama to take Memaw to her new home.
Perhaps it sounds too dramatic, but it is the end of an era. The era in which Memaw has lived either on her own or with someone who loves her unconditionally….my beautiful mother.
I know today will be emotional, especially if Memaw gets disagreeable about going to the home. Twilight is not a bad place, but I don’t think I’d want to LIVE there, you know?
I have a lot to say today, but there’s really not time to write it all down right now.
I want to thank John. You made me feel pretty doggone special by mentioning our notes to you. Like you, I never imagined that people might actually LIKE me. I thought I had to be the eternal clown or the cry-on-my-shoulder best friend to EARN their "like". I enjoy being the clown and the coms-b-f, though, so it’s not a far stretch from whom I really am.
It’s so complicated to explain. That’s why I have to write more later. After the return from Twilight, which we used to refer to as Twilight Zone – when both my grandmothers used to WORK there.
Now, one is going to LIVE there. My precious Memaw. I pray that God takes especially good care of her. She is such a beautiful soul, and she doesn’t deserve the torment she’s going through. I guess it’s suffer the sweet little white-haired ladies…..
Or something.
Much love to all.
My Mikey, I love you forever times PI cubed plus one,
Your Jack
I think Memaw will be ok babe she’ll do this with her grace and style as she always does something even when she gets upset like at the beauty shop when we took her she’ll say something quirky and we will laugh I love you forever times PI cubed plus one Mikey

i think it will be for the best. It’s prob gonna be very tough for her at first because she’s giving up her old life but once she gets used to it i’m sure she’ll love it :). I know my Nonna cried when she first had to leave her home but she adjusted quickly and loved living in the home after a short while.

I am sorry that it has come to this with your MeMaw. I agree with Mikey. Her grace will make her stay easier on her than let’s say Nanny going to the Twlight. It would really be the Twlight Zone then. I am going to pray for both of your grandmothers but especially MeMaw. I am sure God is already looking out for that special angel.
