    I only have one grandparent still alive, and she lives over 3000 miles away. I don’t call her as often as I should because I’m no longer fluent in our native language–our conversations run dry quickly and I dread that awful silence before we hang up. Now we’ve found out she’s in the terminal stage of cancer, and she’s in so much pain and fear every day that it’s even harder to talk with her.

    You always want what you cana’t have. My 92 year old grandmother moved in with us because of alzheimers and she is driving me out of my ******* mind!!! All the other old people I have ever known were quiet, but this old broad talks gibberish all freakin day! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

    Ha! I dated a girl who had a hoarder mother, I hated going to her house, and I certainly never ate there.

    My great-grandma died of Alzheimer’s just before I turned 12 or 13. I still cry when I think about her (even the good times). Her husband, my great-grandpa, lives alone but only a minute or two away from me. I don’t see him as often as I should because I feel so sad for him. I know his death would devastate me, but sometimes I wish he would pass on so he would no longer be in physical pain and (if there is an afterlife) reunite with his wife.

    I wish I could take the years when I was little with my grand-parents and live them again now as a young woman starting college in the fall. They would make my life so much better and have so much advice to give me.

    I know I’ll always feel guilty for becoming distant when my great-grandma was sick or how I don’t see my great-grandpa as much as I should. It just hurts so damn bad to see or think of them in pain. I remember them when I was a little girl- old, but still hanging on.

    I’m sorry. I’ll always be sorry.
