Pulmanary Fibrosis
Is what my grandmother has
And she is close to her end
Not much time to live

She has lost use of one lung
And only has 40% use of the other
She is on oxygen 24/7
Scared of dying from gagging

Her skin has turned grey
It is losing its oxygen
My Dad's cousin said
She might just be holding on
Until we see her

We leave next Friday
And will see her on Sunday
I don't know what to expect
I heard it might be depressing

So if you have a family member
Or friend
That has pulmanary fibrosis
Spend as much time with them
Has humanly possible

Cold hands means a warm heart

I sure will.

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

How sad, Julie...
I hope that she can hold on until she sees you and I hope that after that, she can go peacefully...
