I'm staying alive for my dog and my cat

[BlueKota]

32. My maternal grandmother died at our home.

I wasn't there my Mom had sent me to stay at my Aunt's because she was a nurse, and she knew the signs Grandma was near the end. My sister was four years older, and she wanted to be there to help care for Mom and grandma so my Mom let her stay.

Both of them told me as our priest was performing last rites, my grandma raised one of her arms like she was reaching for an extended hand and said , the beautiful light. I go home now in Italian. Then she passed.
