Nothing take away from thanksgiving like your grandmother telling you this may be your grandfather's last thanksgiving..... I mean it's not like I knew that I guess I kind of try to forget these things because I don't want to think about it. His health is deteriorating and yeah, people die. There comes a time when it happens to everyone. And yeah, he's old it's time, it still doesn't make it any easier to deal with. But not dealing with it in general doesn't help either... I want to write a letter to grandpa saying all the things I normally could not say, but my fear is how that would be recieved. Grandpa hasn't been the one for emotions and such.
I have Keith urban's song "she misses him" stuck in my head, I can imagine that's how grandma feels. "she misses his gentle touch and the way he used to make her laugh" I don't know what grandma is going to do... I know when one person in a couple dies the other kind of dies not far from that first person. Now my grandma is a strong independant person but I can see that happening to her.
I see grandpa sitting over there doing a crosswords. He's sort of drawn back from everyone. Very tired and listless
