The end is near

We found out a couple weeks ago that my Grandma on my dad's side has cancer. The cancer had basically ate away a bone in her leg and in her arm. She had surgery to fix her leg. They still didn't know where the cancer had started and if it could be treated. I found out today that the cancer had started in her lungs and had progressed very rapidly. They are not going to be able to treat her cancer. They have upped her pain medication so that she can be comfortable until God decides to take her.

My grandma is one of the nicest, kindest, most patient people I have ever know. She had 10 kids, 8 of which were boys, one of which is mentally retarded. I don't know how she kept from going nuts. She never has had one bad thing to say about anyone. Why did this have to happen to someone who always put others before herself?

I will pray for you, your family, and for the comfort of your Grandma. I don't understand these things. I don't understand why God takes away some of the best people we know.
