If I had a jet for a night? I'd go visit my grandparents. My grandmother is rapidly declining the older she gets, and I'm afraid I may not get to see her again. Money is tight and travel is rare for us. Well, DH is a flight attendant so technically he travels all the time, but not for pleasure. It's just so hard to see my grandparents decline. My grandmother has always been the type to bake three pies, 6 dozen cookies, and a ham whenever we visit. Her house has always smelled of food and comfort. Now that they're getting older, she can't do so much. Her hands shake and she has a tendency to fall. The last time we visited, she fell three times in the space of two days. It makes me so sad! It's hard because the older I get, the more it seems that those I love die more and more rapidly. It hardly seems fair.
