I hope you're gran can make it to your graduation. But if not, know that she will be there in spirit. Neither of my grandparents came to mine. My grandpa died 2yrs before I graduated, and that is something I've always felt bad about. I wanted him to see me graduate and get married, have babies etc, and he never did. It sucks, but you move on. If your gran can't make it to your graduation, just video it and/or take lots of pics and the two of you can watch/look at them together later on. It's not as good as her being there, but it's better than nothing. I'm sure she is proud as hell of you!!
This is the one thing that is upsetting me the most. The only reason I really agreed to walk was for her. I also thing my great aunt being sick (she's younger than my grandmother) makes me realize how little time I do have left with my grandmother =0(
Jenna, honey--you ARE stronger than you think. You prove it to me every single day with the way you push on through whatever shit comes your way. I know it's hard sometimes--you just wanna throw in the towel and say you've had enough. But you are a fighter, and you don't give in. Losing eight inches is such an accomplishment!! You have so much to be proud of. Not many people who have had to go through what you have are doing nearly as well as you are. You have a bright future despite your past. And I know that you are going to be happy if you will let yourself. You deserve to be blissfully happy. Keep your chin up, dear. I'm pulling for ya. We're all in this together.
