going to visit grandma as per my sunday ritual. i feel our time is running out. she's been living in a facility for about 6 months now, maybe longer, she has dementia and Alzheimers. it kills me to visit her, i get super emotional but i dont want her to see me like that, not like it would make half an impression anyway. she hardly knows who i am at

my grandpa died from Alzheimer's...it was one of those situations where we didn't realize until it had been going for a year or two, and then everything just sort of went down hill from there. it's a really hard thing to watch, I know what you're feeling.

But, I think one good thing is that you're actually old enough to appreciate her. I was 15, and my grandparents were just my grandparents, I didn't think about what their lives were like before they got old. Now that they're gone, I really wish that I had just sat down with them and asked them to tell me their life story. If she can remember, just let her tell you all the stories she's got.
