Laundry and Yard Sale

Mom and I have decided to have a yard sale on Thursday. I am disinhearted because I had to go thru all the clothes that were piled up in the bed room. I really haven't officially moved into Gran's room and Shawn and I have been sleeping in there for some time now. I have to take Gran's clothes out of the closet so Mom can go thru them and see if someone can use them. I hate doing that. I feel like I am moving Gran out of that room for good. I know she would rather someone use them then to just let them sit in there and gather dust and get moth eaten. I do have a few shirts that I am saving. A lady , Kathi, on the 123 message board (www.123stitch.com) suggested that I keep some and make a quilt. I have some shirts that belonged to others I have lost in the past and I think I will do just that with everyone's shirts. I also am going to stitch Lizzie Kate's "My Granma" and finish it either into a cube or a pillow. I will use the shirt fabric and buttons on which ever I decide to make.

Here is my update that I posted to the 123 message board.
Well..Im trying to talk myself into going and finishing the laundry but I thought Id take a break. Gran was so funny tonight..(sad also). I baked her some chicken nuggets. I told her she could have some strawberry ice cream if she would eat 4 nuggets. She took her paper towel and dipped it in the ketchup! She was licking like crazy. Reminded me of something my kids would do when they were younger. She did manage to eat 1 whole nugget and 1/2 another..Other than that..she licked the ketchup off them after I showed her how to dip them. She drank 1/2 her coke. ( she loves coke) I did get her to eat 2 bite size fig newtons and 1 chocolate chip cookie earlier. She fell asleep before ice cream. Ill give her some for lunch tomorrow. I did notice the other night when I was changing her at 3 am that she has lost sooooooo much weight. She used to weigh about 180. I bet she does good to weigh 120 now. She was 149 about a month or so ago. Her skin just hangs and her face is all sunk in. So sad. She was still in good spirits tonight. She argued with DD cause she did a hand stand in the house. LOL. The living room is huge and DD loves to tumble. Special memories..

Uncle Wayne came by earlier tonight and stayed a bit. Gran told him she would eat for him. She did eat the cookie and the fig newtons when he was here. I wish I could get her to eat more but she won't. She did tell me the other day that she wished she could eat like she used too as well. So sad.

Angie , the Hospice nurse, came on Monday. She is a sweet heart. She checked Gran over real well and she was gone. She did say her lungs were clear and that everything was looking good. Gran had some bouts with some bad bowel movements over the weekend. But she is clear of those now too. I couldnt beleive she was doing that since she hadn't taken anything much in. But I guess maybe she caught a bug off one of the kids from school or something. I was scared her body was preparing itself. I am soooo scared of her passing and me being here alone. Angie told me what another one of her cleints family memebers had told her. ....

Angie was having problems with letting her Mom go. The family member told her to look at it like this:
It would be the best thing she could do...holding her Mom's hand and walking her right up to the gates of Heaven. What more can I ask for?
