Omi (my grandmother)




Also, the day Denny had his wreck, I talked with my Aunt Cathy and she told me that my grandomother was not doing well. A few day before this, she went into the hospital with a horrible headache. The doctors concluded that she had a stroke. While she was in the hospital, she had a heart attack. I talked to her on the phone and realized that each day I called she was worse and in alot of pain. We decided to make the trip to Mississippi and see her. The day we arrived at the hospital, the doctors told the family that she was in multiple organ shut down. Angee met us at the hospital. We all took turns and did not leave her alone. It was a horrible thing to experience and watch!!! We made sure that she was comfortable. On Saturday, we needed to leave because Daniel and Breana were in Memphis. I wanted to be with them Easter morning when they woke up. I kissed Omi and told her that I love her!! That was so hard because I KNEW it was the last time I would see her and the last time she would HEAR me. She heard and responded in some way up until the end. We were gone from the hospital for about 30 minutes when Angee called and told us that she had taken her last breath. I cried the whole way to Memphis. I love Omi so much and have alot of memories of her. Those memories can never be taken away! I think about her pretty much everyday! I have had alot of loss in the past 8 months. I lost both of my Papaw's and now Omi. Omi said that she was ready to be with Pappaw. He died only 3 months before her. They were married 59 years.
