02.22.2017 - Wednesday - Getting worse

Grayson has been increasingly more sick in the past two months. 

I know I mocked Felicia a bit when she questioned whether or not he'd make it to his third birthday but now I too am starting to wonder. It is less than a month away now. A part of me is hesitant to go especially now that I have learned family will not be welcome when he pas ... dies. So. Basically. This will be the last time I ever see him. Maybe knowing that will help me focus on my attentions solely on him. 

Just right now I saw a FB post from a mother with a son battling leukemia. A quote from this article got my attention and perfectly sums up how I feel about Grayson: "He is my smile, my love, my heartbeat. He is also my tears, my heart ache, my frowns." 

I am trying to decide if wanting to be there when he dies or even for a funeral is selfish. I know he's her son but he's ours also. As a family I think we need to be able to say goodbye. (OMG I'm going to be a wreck when I leave Sac back to SA). Speaking of, I keep thinking maybe I need to start talking to someone. I have always thought that but this is a big loss. I have so many unresolved issues that this piled on could be the breaking point for me. 

I also learned that I can talk about him as long as I don't think about him. 

Is it sick that I already know what I'm going to post on FB when it happens?
I will post it and then I will go dark. 

In searching for the link, I just realized it's a Dave Matthews Band song. That is one of Chris and Felicia's favorite bands. I simply liked it for the lyrics and "Grace is Gone" sounds like Grayson's gone.

Or maybe I'll post: It ain't fittin. It just ain't fittin. 

My heart is heavy once more. Seems like almost a constant these days. 

My cousin Christa had her baby Grayson. Their first two initials are even the same born almost 2 years and 11 months apart. 

I am so sad.
