goodbye to winter, among other things

So it appears that March is going to be the month of blogging ... or at least I am off to a good start.
First of all I want to say one thing loud and clear. I love spring. There is nothing better in the world than mild temperatures, singing birds, and flowers. Especially after winter! God did very well when he organized the seasons. I also love summer and I am very much looking forward to that, but let's not get ahead of ourselves!
So what I really came here to talk about is my Grandma. She has been sick for quite some time and as a result she has had a pacemaker put it. The doctors now believe that the pacemaker is the only thing that is keeping her alive. They have asked our family to make a rather difficult decision. To turn the pacemaker off or to leave it on.
More so the responsibility of this decision falls to my dad and uncle, but I still feel involved to some capacity.
At this point I am not really sure what is going to happen, but I believe we are planning a trip to say goodbye.
It's hard to think about. Although my Grandma has been living with Alzheimer's for quite some time now, she is still a very important part of my life despite the fact that she may not know who I am all the time.
We all knew and thought that this would happen sooner than it did, but when it comes down to it, it's just hard to say goodbye.
