Life is cyclical...
What you sow, you'll surely reap!
I attended my own maternal grandfather throughout his final days, and his inevitable deterioration was sad to experience! Having always been such a strong presence in my life, I was more than happy to attend to his every need, though it took me away from my own wife and children for days and weeks on end. It's the price we pay as family, and my wife and I likewise attended my wife’s great aunt’s final days of life... Happily so! We didn't do it for any reward, just the duty of family...we’ll soon do the same for her maternal grandmother unfortunately, and when Nona passes, we’ll be out of grandparents entirely... I'm sad to have missed the passing of my father’s parents, having moved far from home to start my own life, marriage and family several hours from them.😰
