Power Down

So my grandmother, who I called Mema, has for the last two years been bed ridden because of a stroke that caused her to be paralyzed. At 7:07pm CST last night I got the call from my dad saying she had finally passed on. So why have I not shed any tears?

Knowing that she was suffering, her asking me and my family to put her out of her misery when we couldn't, and Hospice taking over there was nothing we could do but wait. When the call came I had more relief the sorrow because she is no longer in pain. My concern turned to my family and how they are handling her death because I know I am fine.

If you could only lay in bed crippled so you can't write, you can barley hold anything and all you can do is think. This caused my Mema to think people were out to get her, she would hear parts of conversations and twist them in her head. But this is the same problem that we have in life.

When you get overwhelmed, fear sets in and it sets in hard. We get scared when we have new things to understand or when things are out of control. All you can do is press on even when things or people power down. It might seem cold, but you have to go on no matter how hard it is. I'm becoming the one in my family, and in business that is the leader and a leader helps those that need it. Right now my family needs me but that doesn't mean I have to stop working I have to do double time, family and work, because like I said last week the only moment is NOW!
