Healthy
at ninety
Going
strong and loving life
First
great grandchild soon
*
A
slip and a fall
Hospital
rooms and slurred speech
Who
is this stranger
*
Bestamore,
she's called
Family
and friends have come
Say
their last goodbyes
* * *
Bestamore is not my grandmother, exactly. She's my older brother's wife's grandmother. For many people they wouldn't know their siblings spouses grandparents, but I'm not most people. I lived with my brother's wife's parents for a couple years and became an honorary member of the family. I've spent the last two Christmas's at Bestamore's house and have come to know and love her. Then, this past Tuesday, she slipped and fell. Such is life.
