Your failing body is bothering you
But your heart is holding on to life
Auntie wants you to live, you want to go
For you it is a struggle and a strife.

The fight within this family
Is reaching the highest heights
Darkness has befallen us
We cannot see the lights..

Clinging to you is all they want
Not thinking of you though
If all this was left up to me
Granny, I’d let you go

All I want is peace for you
No worries and no pain
Keeping you in a retirement home
I can see no gain.

I went through that a few years ago with my grandfather. The first time I saw him in the nursing home, I bawled all the way home. That wasn't the way he wanted to live.

This time of year is especially hard - we live right next to where he lived before going in a nursing home and his birthday is just a few days away.

Christmas just hasn't been the same since my two grandfathers passed away.tears
