We had a murder trial like that once, where the trial had to be transfered from two counties over to the one I live in. This old boy was a monster, let me tell you. He cut up his wife and distributed her from one end of Missouri and into Arkansas. That's where part of her was found -- in an ice chest in a lake. A fisherman found her (poor guy). I hate rape and murder trials. The poor jury, having to sit there before Christmas, listening to the gory details and look at death photographs -- eeewwwwuuu. P.S. I thought I was nearly through with this appeal. I found out yesterday there had been an additional proceeding in February of this year that I hadn't remembered (this awful custody case took FIVE DAYS and was tried over a period of a year and a half). I just want to cry!

My Dad got like that as he got older. Absolutely nothing would lure him out of his own home. He was more than happy to have us there but wouldn't come to us. His theory was that he had done the running around after us for many years, it was our turn to run around after him. He claimed that age merited a little selfishness. I know where you are coming from. It is an awkward situation but one to which I never found a solution.

I can completely understand how you feel and why. My un-asked-for advice would be to make the most out of it. If you have to go see her to see her, you should go. As we both know, you're not promised tomorrow. I don't think WA could EVER EVER NEVER be as aweful as Grandma. Ever. Not on her worst day. WA isn't mean and hateful and terrible to people. I'm sure she doesn't mean to hurt your feelings. But, she's doing what she thinks is right for her right now and you need to do the same. Someday, hopefully a long time from now, when she's gone, you'll be glad you did whatever you had to do to see her and be in touch. Heaven hasn't yet released it's double-top-secret phone number. But when they do!!!.... :) Hang in there. Know you're loved and know I think about you so very often!
