An Unexpected Homecoming

The emails started this week.

My Grandma has taken a turn for the worse. She is refusing any further treatment and is ready to go 'home'. The latest update I got this morning when I fired up my laptop is she'll likely be gone in 48 hours if not sooner. The Dr has her on a morphine drip to make her comfortable. My Mom and 1 Aunt are with her now. My other Aunt and Uncle are at various stages of travel to get there.

I've booked my flight from GLA to YVR via Amsterdam. I was surprised that one of the cheapest flights is with KLM and the Amsterdam - YVR leg is direct. Air Canada was almost twice the price plus I'd have to stop in Calgary of all places. No thanks.

So I will be arriving in Vancouver Tuesday afternoon and driving to Oliver either that night or Wednesday morning (I need to check with my Dad). I should be back in Vancouver for the weekend if any of you out there want to get together for a quick visit.

I'll be heading into the office this weekend and I know I'll be working late Monday night as I need to try and finish up a few projects in prep for the week off.

I am one of only 3 Grandchildren and she is the last Grandparent I have.

I need to go home.
