My Grandpa
So at the end of May me and Tony will be going to Seattle for a few days. While we are there we are going to see my grandparents. I have not seen them much since my parents divorce. They have been very sick lately. And my grandpa does not remember me. He has dementia. It makes me really sad. Actually I have gotten quite emotional lately about the trip. It will be a goodbye in a sense. I don’t know how much longer they will be alive. They just moved out of there beautiful home on Puget Sound. I will be sure to post pictures of it when I come back. They live in a retirement center now. I know they are not gone yet, but in my mind it will be like saying goodbye, because I don’t know if I will be able to go back for funerals….I know…I know I am jumping way into the future…who knows maybe they will live another 10 years. But it does make me sad that he will not remember me. It makes me want to make sure that I make the best use of all my days. Our days are numbered and we just don’t know how long we have on this earth. I want to make the most of them!

I’m so sorry sweetie about your Grandpa. Mine is going thru a rough time right now too. It’s so hard not to be close by, but even if we were, knowing what to do to encourage them and take care of them. My Grandma and Grandpa are both moving into my uncle’s house because they need constant care right now.
I’ll be praying for your trip. May the Lord bless you as you go to love on him.
