17 + Water = The Formula for Dying

This is what my Mammaw mumbled to my aunt Marva Lynne just 3 days ago. She told my aunt to make sure to write the formula down on a note pad because everyone needed to know it. She's been losing her mind with this horrible disease so we thought nothing of it. Funny thing is today is the 17th day since she stopped eating, and she hasn't had any water in almost a week. She passed away at 2:11 this morning. Is this just a coincidence or was she really trying to tell us something? I guess we'll all find out on our on time.
I went to visit yesterday evening. I wasn't sure rather to take Ashlyn over to see her in the state that she was in, but my mom said that when they would just mention Ashlyn and Brennan's names she would wake up a bit, so I felt that it was important that my Mammaw get to see them. At this point I did not realize that it would be the last time, so I'm so thankful in my decision. When Ashlyn walked over to Mammaw's bed they (Dad and my aunt) said that Mammaw was more awake than she had been in the past 2 days. She couldn't talk and she could hardly open her eyes, but you could see her eyebrows moving up and down with joy knowing that her babies were in the room. We all took turns sitting with her talking with her and saying our goodbyes, letting her know that it was ok to let go. We never anticipated her going downhill so fast, but it truly was a blessing that she didn't suffer any longer than she did!
Mom drove over to my house at 5 this morning to tell me the news. She said that she couldn't do it over the phone. I'm so happy that she's no longer in pain, but I'm going to miss her more than anyone can ever imagine! It's not going to be the same walking in that house without her there. There's not a doubt in my mind that she's in heaven right now and I know that she's going to be watching over Ashlyn and Brennan all of the time. She's their guardian angel, there's no doubt about it! Please continue to pray for our family during this time of grief.
