Man... so much. First of all, my grandmother passed on the 3rd of this month. I never even mentioned her illness to many people, because it was like speaking it aloud made it real.

Sorry to hear about your loss Soror. I've gone through the same but differently... My grandma has Alzheimer's. My granddad was showing some signs of it and he passed in January. It's hard. And that disease is VERY hard to deal with. But I am very glad you got to see her before she passed. For a while I was mad at myself because I saw my granddaddy the night before, but I didn't SAY "I love you" although I'm sure he knew. I guess I figured I'd at least have a few more days. He was supposed to be coming home the next day.

Oh wow I'm so sorry April. My great-grandmother had Alzheimer's and died from complications of it last June. That is something very difficult to deal with. Since she passed I notice myself watching my grandmother closer than I ever have to see if she shows any signs of it. I just don't know what I would do without my grandmother because she's been my rock since I was born. I was tearing up reading your entry. Just know that she loves you even though she isn't here. I hope over all you're doing well. ::hugs::
