Beautiful moment between my son and his Grandma.

We got word yesterday that my mother in law, who is 90 years old, isn’t expected to live through the week. I asked my 11 year old son if he wanted to see his Grandma one last time. At first he decided against it but today as we talked more about it he wasn’t sure. I told him I’d support whatever decision he made but to make sure he wouldn’t have any regrets when he made the decision.Ultimately he decided to see her. Because I had to go with my husband for an IV treatment (health issues at the same time he’s losing his Mom) I wasn’t able to take my son until late this afternoon.As my son and I drove down around the corner from our house he told me he forgot the toy car. I asked what toy car. He said the one his Grandma had bought him when he was little. So we turned around and went back to get the toy car.When we arrived it took him a while to work up the courage to approach her. She was basically in a sleep state today though we were told the hearing is the last thing to go so to continue to talk to her. After a little while of screwing up his courage he asked if he could be alone with her for a few minutes. So me and my sister in law left the room.On our way home later my son shared that he got the car out and reminisced about when she bought it for him. He also said a prayer for her and held her hand for a little bit. He said he was crying so hard he could barely talk but he was happy he got to talk to her and see her one last time.My son has some adult cousins that can’t handle seeing their Grandma in this condition and likely won’t see her before she passes. I know some people just can’t handle it and that’s okay but I’m so proud my son made the decision to say his goodbyes to his Grandma. I thought it very touching he even thought about taking the car that she’d bought him when he was little. It brings tears to my eyes every time I think about it. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2LAwaSI
