I am watching my gran in the same situation and it can be heartbreaking on occasions.

Hold strong to your memories and enjoy the time you have with your Grandmom. Keep telling her the stories. She may not remember them but she will love hearing them!<br /><br /><a href="jalt179.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">My Thoughts...</a>Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12455193265889351170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962663674229618682.post-8489101262664151782010-02-08T18:26:45.700-05:002010-02-08T18:26:45.700-05:00It's definitely tough thinking that you have b...It's definitely tough thinking that you have become the supporter rather than the one who is being supported. I had a similar situation in my family and it was definitely a little sad. I guess it's all part of life as tough as it is. I know what you mean with the scrambled eggs too. My friends mom used to make macaroni and I thought it was really good and something tasted so different about it. My mom asked her if she did anything different to it and she said honestly it was just jarred or canned tomato sauce and pasta. Of course, I loved my mom's the best but when something is different but still really good you want to know what the heck they do to it. So knowing that it was just plain and simple is sort of like the scrambled eggs...they were awesome but maybe it was just because she had that extra special touch.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979914565647698188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962663674229618682.post-61918994225114341062010-02-08T00:02:46.108-05:002010-02-08T00:02:46.108-05:00Great post!Great post!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01075968216251242417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962663674229618682.post-72621659057551660942010-02-04T21:01:42.658-05:002010-02-04T21:01:42.658-05:00Oh Ally, this tugged on my heart strings.

Anyway she had brain cancer, and before she died she needed a lot of care. Since I was a CNA at the time, everyone thought I should do the job. I tried. I really did. My grandma was such a strong woman though. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't help her take a shower or help her with the other personal things. It was hard enough to try to cook for her. Although she thought everything was fine, it just wasn't like what she could make. Like Betty said, it's a role reversal that is hard to be comfortable with.<br /><br />I do believe in karma, and I'm sure there will be someone to make your eggs just right, when you need them to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157145739599230080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3962663674229618682.post-43655239354750499072010-02-03T21:26:34.342-05:002010-02-03T21:26:34.342-05:00It's a role reversal that no one is comfortabl...It's a role reversal that no one is comfortable with...believe me! When I visit my Dad at the nursing home and I have to tell him not to wipe his nose on the table cloth or I wipe his hands and face after the meal...it still seems strange to me. I'm not comfortable with it, but there's no choice. I keep having to remind myself of the way he used to be. I don't think I want to get old...or at least that old. I don't want my kids to have to worry about me. That's a big fear.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068151073417372746noreply@blogger.com
