Many of you may know that on March 14, 2011, I lost my granny. My granny was a great woman who had a big heart. The last few years of her life was spent in a nursing home not know who anyone was. She suffered from Alzheimer's. My parents would go to visit her, and she may know who my dad (her son) was for a split second, but then forgot. She would then get upset for not knowing who he was. She could not eat or drink without assistance. In all honesty, I did not visit much over the last several years. Once I heard how bad her condition was, I didn't want to upset her or upset myself by seeing someone I cared for in a state like that. My memories of her were good and that's how I want it to stay. The picture below is possibly the last picture I have with her (which is from my wedding).
Look at how happy she looks! Isn't she beautiful. The handsome guy to the left of her is actually my Pappy, which I lost a couple of years ago. Such happiness in both of them. This is the way I want to remember them.
In honor of my granny and her condition, I am posting the website to the Alzheimer's Association (
www.alz.org). Please look at this website and learns the signs of the condition and be aware of them.
I love you Granny and you will always be in my heart.
