Grandma

[tigcheri]

I am having trouble sleeping,for some reason Grandma is on my mind. She has alzheimer's and is in a nursing home all alone. I hate what that stupid disease does to her. I hate seeing her that way. Why does a perfectly healthy women so full of life still have to have something so horrible happen to her. She cannot remember anything. Sometimes our names. Mom tried letting her live at home with her but it just was not working out. It is very hard to have someone with that disease live in your home. I am often afraid for my mom and I in the future. I haven't said this to my mom because I think she already knows, but I see small signs of the same thing in her. I pray every night that mom and I do not end up the same way as Grandma. To live a life so fully and have no special memories in the end is not fair. She deserves to have those memories she worked for them. God I pray healing in our family from this awful disease that has been a thief in our family for many years now.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your grandma.  Sometimes in life we often wonder why....but keep your faith and trust in God and prayer He can get you through this emotional time in your life.  Grandma's are so special, and your prayers will continue to work for her.  If it is troubling you that grandma is in the nursing home alone take the time to visit if you can.  It will do your heart good.  God Bless
