LJ Idol week 5- They're the Ones Who Used to Call me Friend

[lawchicky]

I'm watching her unravel. The woman who used to be my rock and my caretaker, who taught me to cut with a knife and to wash my hair. She is 94 now, and will be 95 in a few weeks, but instead of teaching me lessons these days, we suffer through memory loops

I had the privilege of being one of the people lucky enough to spend the last of my aunt's days with her. That time with her will always be precious to me. I hope you enjoy your time with your grandmother, even with all the challenges.

This is beautiful. That very last sentence sums it all up perfectly. ♥

You see, she is still teaching you lessons. Beautiful work.

It is hard to watch our adults age.
