For My Grandmother

Randy and I will be meeting my mother and sister tomorrow at the nursing home. We'll be having lunch with my grandmother, the one with alzheimer's. She still remembers who I am after a couple of minutes and I play along by pretending I don't notice that she's fishing for hints as to my identity. She still knows that she knows me, so my presence doesn't concern her while she figures out who I am. I know this probably sounds sad, and it is I suppose. But I have known for a long time that this was coming and have been able to prepare myself for it. I simply love her, no matter what, as she always did for me. She's technically my step-grandmother, but she took me into her heart and always treated me as if I were one of her own grandchildren. I love her.

So for Easter this year I took the time to draw her a card.

To those of you who celebrate Easter, have a wonderful holiday!

To everyone else, have a terrific day too! :0)
