My grandmother was in a similar situation. She lived with us and by the time I was 22, she got really bad; life long diabetes affected her memory and her sense of reality. She ended up believing that I was my Mom (her daughter) and that Mom was me. Although she couldn't remember last week, her memories of the past were intact.<br /><br /> She constantly wanted to show me pictures and tell me stories. Just like your grandpa, she had a big family (6 sisters and a brother, all scattered around the world). The story of her family was incredible. What I did was to sit down with her almost every day and listen. <br /><br />Then I realized that all that will be lost if I don't do something. My love for her and for writing gave me the idea...I put together a special photo-journal with her family pictures and 1 page long little stories next to them. It is one of the most important family treasures that we have, especially now that she's been gone for almost 10 years.<br /><br />I think you would enjoy doing something like that with your gradfather. You have him now.:)<br /><br />...And thank you for your kindness. It means a lot.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412146742072723407noreply@blogger.com
