So my grandfather has been living with Alzheimers for quite a while now. My mother called me a few minutes ago to tell me that they were making arrangements for his passing. And I will be making a trip home earlier than expected. Alzheimers is an interesting disease. At first, he only forgot a few things here and there. Nothing really important. And then he began to call me Cheryl - my mother. And last time I visited - it seemed as though he had already left us. He mostly just sat there. I really don't even know what I want to say. Except that as sad as I am, I am glad that he no longer has to simply be alive. For years he's been a shell. I think I'm more concerned about my Granny. I can't imagine what this has been like for her. She and my Papa have been together since my mother was young. I'm worried about her. Please keep my granny in your prayers.
