blue

I’m feeling kind of blue..My grandmother is a very busy, social grandma..as old as she is, you wouldn’t know it.. (she’ll be 92 soon).. but she fell and broke her ankle..as well as the other leg’s knee. She’s in the hospital..and will eventually have to go for rehab/staying at a nursing home as she heals. I know it’s inevitable..people age and these things happen. I just feel incredibly sad as I see she and my grandfather become frail and older. Their house is the house we go at Christmas time, and for the big Thanksgiving dinners..even though more of us help with the cooking as the years have passed..they are the grandparents I’ve had my entire life..right here..close by. I think I am lucky to have them..but wish I didn’t have to ever face losing them. I guess I’m not all that good at embracing the circle of life. Sigh.

  1. I’m glad you have kind grandparents – mine are all jerks. I lost my great aunt almost 2 years ago – she was a kind of fairy godmother to everyone – and I still miss her a lot.

  2. I’m sorry about your Grandma, I hope she recovers fast.
    It isn’t easy watching friends and relatives leave this planet before us, but it is what it is.
    I only have 2 Aunts and 1 Uncle left and it is hard to see how frail they are getting.
