Tonight, I got to sit by the bed of one of the downright sweetest lady's bed as she lays deathly ill saying her goodbyes and biding her time until the final moment. It was surreal. To see how this wonderful 94 year old woman has withered like a flower over the last 2 weeks has been so saddening. She is my fiance's great-grandmother and the two of them are incredibly close. Closer than any I've ever seen. Best friends and family, always. This is incredibly hard on my gal, seeing her slowly fade away. It started with kidney failure 2 weeks ago. Since then, she has known her fate and has been saying her goodbyes. She's given everyone their Christmas presents. She loves getting kisses right now. The doctor says she has maybe 2-3 more days to live. All positive thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

Here's to you, Memere.

They are a completely different generation! Alot tougher and nicer than current generations. My grandmother is 88 and still push mows her 1.5 acre lot, refuses to let us boys do it. As hard as it is to say good-bye to the matriarch, she has had a full life! God Bless!

Yes she has had a full life. Letting go is hard, nonetheless.

Sorry to hear.

Glad she got to live a long, happy, fulfilled life.

Be glad you only had to see her deteriorate for such a short time and that she was given the opportunity to be a part of your lives for this long.

Ive learned recently that no matter how long you know its coming, its still hard when the moment actually arrives.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
