why do we have to get old
So over break i went out to dinner with my grandparents, my aunt and her fiance and my mom. It was good to see everyone but my grandfather is just not the same. He is quiet because he is afraid to say something stupid and because when he tries to tell a story he can't always remember it. I know that when he was diagnosed with alzheimers 2 months ago that it was going to change him i just didnt realize it would be this quick. He is even on meds to slow the process down.
Yesterday my mom calls me and tells me while my grandmother was out of the house he got rid of something that my aunt apparently wanted although my grandmother tells him repeatedly to start getting rid of some of his stuff. Well she had a fit and yelled at him and i guess he said im going to go take a nap now and hope i don't wake up...I know it has to be hard fo my grandma but i don't want to go home for christmas and have my grandfather not even know me. i dont think i will be able to deal with that.I dont want him to die i just want him to be the same person as i have always remembered him.
This just makes me think of how i don't want to be old. I don't want to have to go through my possessions and start giving them away before i die. I want to live my life with out worries.
