R.I.P
David's grandmother passed away and they were very close as was I and many others. The past week has been non-stop tears for David and so I tried to be the best support I could be. When David went up and read the eulogy, it was so touching and genuine that he himself had stopped to sob. Emily, his younger sister read a beautiful poem and when she cried everyone did.
She had cancer, and diabetes so when the heartattack and stroke hit her, her body felt like it was time to end the pain and suffering and she passed during the reading of her Last Rights. We had got there a few minutes to late and as we walked into the room, David put his hand over his mouth and rushed to her bedside in tears.
But where David loses a life close to his heart, he had saved another. We had gone down for some food at the Hospital Country Style and went outside for some fresh air. An old woman in a wheelchair was off in the grass with a watch dog. The dog began barking and two nurses ran out moments later. One of the nurses yelled out "She has a weak pulse, get help!"
The other nurse started to run (but not fast enough). David darted into the hospital and grabbed a Cardiologist and a Nuerologist nearby and they ran out. As we headed in, we heard the hospital call "CODE BLUE CODE BLUE" (meaning her heart had stopped). Minutes later, David joined us and said that they had saved her.
But if David hadn't gotten the help as quick as he did, that woman may have died as well.
I am so proud of him for being so strong.
More sad news however, some friends and family had decided to adopt the dog, and Isis but Marley will have to go back to the Humane Society. Not because no one wants him, because our houses are already too full. I will miss Marley so much because he was such a playful kitten, but I am sure with that personality, he will find a good home. I will also miss the lively and youthful attributes of David's Grandmother and I know that she meant a lot to him. Rest in Peace, Doreen.
