The night
before my grand¬father’s funeral, I spent the evening with my grandmother, who
I called Mom-ee. Before going to bed, she wanted to
tell me about his final moments. Pa-Pa had been very sick for several weeks in
a nursing home. Months of taking dialysis had taken its toll on his
eighty-two-year-old body.
Mom-ee told
me, “Just the other night, I got down on my knees and prayed, ‘Lord, please
don’t let him die alone in the nursing home. Please let me be with him when he
dies.’”
