I am ready to get outta this place. But, I will enjoy it while it lasts and live the best I can. Don't fear the Reaper!!!

You can't replace memories like that. They made me think of my grandparents. I remember losing both of my Grandfathers. Mom's dad died of brain cancer and went through similar things like your Granny. Dad's dad was sharp to the end, but died painfully of emphysema. It was hard to lose them, but losing them brought out so much of the best feelings and memories of them and that I certainly appreciate. Thanks for sharing, my friend.bigsiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435879973761006243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13746420.post-1119087442493521032005-06-18T03:37:00.000-06:002005-06-18T03:37:00.000-06:00Thats really touching.

He doesn't recognize most of his family anymore incliding his children. Talks incoherently, and is generally out of his mind. They haven't put him in a home yet, because he's mostly harmless and my grandmother is still very capable of taking care of him. But it is still heartbreaking. Sorry to get so down there, that really was a nice memorial to your granny.Mat Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572618956112125321noreply@blogger.com
