I think my grandmother is dying, so please pray for her, especially since she's a fallen away Catholic. She's had such a hard life: orphaned at about 10 years old with her little brother. Had to stay in an orphanage for years because her aunt and uncle, who lived in the next town, refused to take them until the state practically forced them. Worked her way through college and married my grandfather, had 3 sons in the span of 5 years, was left by her husband for another woman, had to raise them practically by herself and has been a little crazy ever since. She was on Jeopardy once! Really intelligent, but kinda eccentric. Insists she's part Jewish, but we have our doubts. We found out recently that in her college days she tried to join a Jewish militia camp in the Middle East.....
I haven't kept in touch with her, which kills me, beacuse she's always been so damned proud of me. I didn't even have to do anything. She had breast cancer about 8 years ago and went through chemo but I don't think she's going to make it through this one. It's strange. My grandfathers died so long ago that I sorta took for granted that my grandmothers, I guess, wouldn't.
