Reikes small life...

By Reike

What a strange exhausting weekend!

Yesterday was my grandmas 94th birthday and in the morning she got admitted to hospital with severe pneumonia... They said she might die the next day or day after. My brother with girl-friend travelling from London and I travelling from Switzerland met up in Amsterdam and then drove to see her in the clinic in Germany.
She was happy to see us and that we could still say happy birthday to her! We stayed a night at our cousins place and visited the next day again for several hours. She seemed to be doing better towards the afternoon. Afterwards we met up with the rest of the family in the Netherlands by the sea.

So many hours in the hospital and in the car but I am very happy for my chance to say good-bye to her. You never know, she might still last for a while but at one point she will go. Her mind is as fresh as ever so it is extra hard for her that her body doesn't want to play along anymore...
