A few weeks ago something happened with my godfather on a Friday. One of the cousins called on Sunday & there was no answer, so she went to check on them Monday. She found the papers & mail all from Fri & Sat. The police broke in & they found them both on the floor in different parts of the house. They initially thought he was dead, but his breathing was just really shallow. She suffers from dementia, so when he went down she didn't know what to do.

Fast forward a few weeks and she's been doing a lot better. He's been thru several surgeries & is still in rough shape. I just got the call that she now has kidney failure. They've been married nearly forever and are now in separate health facilities. Neither is stable enough to move, so they'll die without seeing each other. If she dies now, he won't even be able to go to her funeral.

They're both Michigan fans, so after work tonight I'm gonna head up to Bay City, MI to see them & talk about the game. One last time...

We're not that close, but I happen to like them. Mortality sucks.

I dread this happening to my grandparents.
