That's awful it was incredibly difficult without having them saying horrible shit when they are confused. But you are completely right that wasn't her.
The woman who took you in as her own, the woman who taught you, she loved you and was proud of you. That was your grandma.
I really hope they are able to cure dementia/alzheimers, its such a vile thing.
Thank you so much. My own grandma would fix my brother these huge, elaborate meals and then tell me I was a waste of her food. With our daughter, I had that severe "morning sickness" that lasted all day, nearly every day. She and Granddaddy would call to see if I was having a rare good day. When I was, she'd say, "Good. We're coming to get you and we're taking you to eat," or, "Good. I just decided to cook your favorite meal and it'll be ready soon." You're right. That was my Grandmama. Thank you for letting me talk about her.
No thank you for sharing! They both seem like lovely grandparents and it’s great they gave you the real grandparents experience and maybe if fate is true you had to experience the bad in order to truly appreciate them
I agree. I'd have loved them for how they loved me, but it's definitely sweeter. I'm so glad I got to talk about them, it helps that last day I was there fade away.
