For those who read Eagles blog they know that it is very likely my Grandmother will die in the next 24 hours. She is in Toronto and I am in Montreal, at first I debated whether I should go down today or wait until the funeral, but I eventually made what I feel was the right decision and booked the first flight into Toronto in a couple of hours. I was never that close to my Grandmother because she has had Alzheimer's for the majority of my life. Frankly it was depressing whenever I visited her, to see a grown woman be in such an infantile state, when I went it would almost always be to appease my parents and my visits were far too infrequent.
I wish I was closer with my grandma, however I wasn't. My other Grandma lives in Montreal and I don't see her nearly as frequently as I should and if anything good can out of this, I hope it is that I can visit my other grandmother more often, before Alzheimer's turns her into a shell of her former self.

While I was debating whether or not to go back the following thought entered my head, which turned a fairly tough decision into an easy one. My parents have always taught me to do the right thing and there is no better way to show my appreciation towards them than to show that when faced with a decision I will do the right thing.

This is blog is pretty raw and scattered, but I have a flight to catch and wanted to capture my emotions right now.
