A longer pause

I have lots to post (and I apologize to Encarna and Lisa S. for not showing the beautiful pieces then sent me) but for the moment being, this blog will be on pause... a week or two more, a month, I don't know.
I am at my grand-mother's bedside since oh, so many days, waiting for a death that doesn't come, for a relief in grandma's suffering. My aunt and I are taking turns day and night at her bedside, so at this moment I am beyond tired. Her strong heart doesn't let go while all else is not working anymore. She can't even swallow, so we put drops of water on her tongue all the time. Tonight, I'll be 'on duty' till 4 am so that my aunt can get some sleep. Listening to this hard breathing, seeing her unconscious and obviously in pain is difficult.
At almost 101, my grandmother is leaving and I just don't have the inspiration to blog - and even time to stitch. But I'm working on a bigger job to deliver on Thursday, so I thought I'd leave a short hi here.
No real sadness, no despair... Grandma had a long life. But it's tough to accompany her in this journey that doesn't seem to end. Her strong body is her worse enemy at this moment.
Ah, I'll tell you - think twice before you wish anyone 100 years of age.
