So I'm home from Florida...and oh how I wish I could go back right now...The weather was amazing...We layed out everyday...Went out to eat a couple times, went shopping, went to the beach, and most of all, relaxed...It was wonderful...
We went to visit my Grandma...and also my great grandma...It was interesting to say the least ;)
My great grandma is 93 years old and has alzheimers...She's adorable...She's so little and helpless...She sits and reads all day long, although she doesnt know what she's reading because she can't remember anything...You look at her and she smiles...wishing she was young again...wishing she could remember what you just said to her 10 minutes ago...She's been down there since right after christmas, and its now edging toward the end of March--and if you ask her how long she's been there--she'll say 2 1/2 weeks...It breaks my heart...
We were talking about getting my great grandma a boyfriend--and she laughed and said "well I think I'm too old for a boyfriend, but a partner would be nice." and so meghan said "yeah and you two can go out on the town" and grandma said "we could have a few beers" (after finishing the last drop of hers)...Meghan said "well I'll find ya one!" and she said "Dont look too hard kid--He'd take one look at me and say 'I want someone with teeth'."...
I started crying...My great grandma had cancer in her jaw about 5 years ago...She had a very serious surgery but she made it through...She now has a metal plate on her top and bottom jaw...You can't tell that she doesnt have teeth, it just takes her a long time to eat things...
I learned a lot in a week...I've learned to appreciate the little things in life and be thankful for everything I've been blessed with...My family is so close and I wouldn't have it any other way...I love my family more than anything in the world...
well enough rambling...I just felt like typing...I miss Florida already...
*God Bless Everyone*
