[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 188949, member: 3626"] Right now, the only thing she has asked is that you help her husband with the kids IF she dies. I can't imagine any grandmother with her salt saying no to that one. It is the right thing to do. That simple. Yes, some of what she wrote screams of manipulation -- especially all the junk about looking up to you. You don't bad mouth someone, ignore them for years and say you admired them. That's hogwash, pure and simple. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for those emails, IMs, pics, etc. It sounds good and she may be sincere but I wouldn't buy into it too much. Not worth getting disappointed about when they don't happen. So, I think you're doing the right thing all the way around. You've said you would help and I'm sure if that day comes, you'll be happy to help all you can while being devastated for the reason behind it. You are taking everything she says with a large grain of salt. Personally, I wouldn't care about her diagnosis. It has absolutely no relevancy to anything that has been said. I'd ask her what she had to be able to do some research so that I could get an idea of what I'm looking at. If she didn't give it to me, I wouldn't particularly worry about it. You'd help with your grandkids regardless of why. You're in no position to help financially even if you wanted to. So, you're doing the right thing for all the right reasons. At least contact is bieng made. Sadly, time well tell how true her words are. I hope you do get contact with the grandkids. I hope she is lying about her condition. No one deserves to have that kind of cloud hanging over their heads. [/QUOTE]
