Angustia Azcueta Resurreccion, 20 May 1919 - 28 July 2009
My grandmother turned 90 on 20 May 2009. NINETY!
A week later, she was admitted to Mount Saint Joseph's Hospital in Vancouver, BC. Originally, it was because her heart rate was very fast and we all thought it was just probably a precaution that she stay until things were relatively normal again.
Deep down, I think she knew it was something more; deep down I think we all knew it was something serious. Cancer. Under her tongue and it had spread.
For some reason I felt compelled to take my camera those first few days in the hospital and photograph her with family, etc. A little while later, I thought it might be nice to remember these days for myself and so I've created this blog.
I have been lucky - as my lola keeps reminding me. I've had many years to know my lola and I feel like this is yet another way to give her dignity.

WEEK ONE
My grandparents have seven children, 20 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren. Phew! Some of us are living in Vancouver and have been able to see lola quite often. These photos were taken in early June...
