How do you say goodbye?

My great grandmother, who is 99 years old, has been in the hospital for about a week. The doctors pretty much said there is not much else they can do, but make her comfortable until God decides to grant her angel wings. Now it is only a matter of time before she leaves us here and goes to Heaven. I went to San Antonio over the weekend to see her and to say goodbye, but for someone who has been a big part of your life for the last 25 years ... how do you say goodbye. I know she is tired and ready to go home, but I am being selfish and want her to stay here. I had my time with her to hold her hand and just be there for her this past weekend. Now she is comfortable and we are just waiting until she is completely at rest.

I know this is one of the first posts, but thought I would let everyone know what is going on, in case I miss class now you will know why.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
