My grandmother was put on hospice earlier this month. All her doctors and caregivers kept saying they aren’t seeing anything imminent happening.

In August, I was set to move back to Washington. I would have been living within ten minutes of her. I was going to be with her everyday.

On Tuesday, she stopped eating. Yesterday, I started driving from Texas to Washington to get with her early. I was going to get there Saturday. Her case manager thought I would make it. Said she was opening her eyes and still “connecting.” That she wasn’t worried about her passing soon.

She passed five hours into my drive.
Even if I had flown, I wouldn’t have gotten there in time.

I haven’t seen her since Thanksgiving 2023.
I’ve been working, dealing with health issues, and working on my master’s degree.

I feel just terrible. Such a deep seated guilt that I haven’t been there, and that I couldn’t make it.

She was an amazing woman, and I’m a lot like her. She was more like a mother to me. I have a lot to thank her for in my life.

Thank you for reading.

My grandma passed away, as I was driving to be with her. I was set to move to be within 10 minutes of her in two weeks. But this Monday, she just took a sudden turn.

I had spoke with her nurse earlier and she thought I would make it. I started traveling today, but she passed away.

I’ve been her guardian for the last year. I’m so thankful to the teams that have supported her.

I’m so unbelievably sad.
I can’t believe I wasn’t there.

Looking for people to run two separate Fireteam Ops activities. I will need to run one with a modifier but the other can be a simple run through!
