My granny is my favorite person in the world. She's the purest good I've ever seen. She's like Jesus without the whole 'sacrifice' and 'savior' thing. Seriously, she's a saint. She's kind and thoughtful and a great listener. She's always there for you if you need her. She sticks up for you if you need her to. And she just got diagnosed with small cell lung cancer, extensive stage. The doctors are estimating 2-4 weeks left in her life. I can't stand it. I know its selfish to want her to live longer, since she's in pain and suffering. It's just...not enough time. She's too good to just be taken away. She shouldn't have to suffer like this. It's not FAIR. I've tried to be strong for my family, and I've tried to be cheerful around her and show her I love her while she's dying. Its just...I always kinda hoped I'd get hit by a bus before she died. It sounds weird, I'm sure. But I did kinda hope I'd die before her, even though she's much older than i am. She's for damned sure BETTER than i am.

I first would like to say how sorry I am. Death is never easy to deal with, especially when you know it's coming.

I don't know how you feel, but I can understand how much this hurts. I wish I could give you some advice, but in this case, I am at a loss.

--hugs-- If I were in your situation, I'd be a mess... You have more strength than I do.

The only thing I can think of for you to do is to cherish the time you have left with your grandmother. Continue showing her how much you care for her.

If you ever need to talk, feel free to PM me. <3
