When I was three, my great grandma lived with me. We played games together like puzzles. Sometimes she would make me mad because she didn’t understand what I was saying and we would fight. I learned she had a disease where she couldn’t remember things. When I moved to Cedar City, she moved to a senior citizens place where they helped take care of her. But I still would visit her every time I came to town. She always had a treat saved for me. When I would see her she was always excited to see me and the other old ladies always were excited too. They would want to give me hugs and kisses. Her memory has gotten worse and worse and now she has to live in a place where they can help her a lot. She doesn’t remember people very well. Sometimes she thinks my grandpa, her son, is her brother. Sometimes she thinks my grandma is her sister. But when I come to visit her, she still gets excited and remembers who I am. Maybe she remembers me because we did a lot of things together when she lived with me. Everyone should still visit old people even if they are sick or have a bad memory. It helps them have a better life and be more happy.
Colby, I thought you wrote your memories about your Grandmother extremely well. I really enjoyed reading them. Keep up the good writing!
ReplyDeleteColby, what a great tribute about Grandma Fae.
ReplyDeleteYou are right, we all need to help the old people. Your grandma was lucky to have you.
Colby's thoughts are most charming. Isn't it interesting that some of the hardest things in life turn out to be so valuable. I'll bet Colby will always keep tract of what is really important in life. He is a special little spirit and Fae was lucky to have him to love and to fight with. Glad he expressed himself here.
ReplyDeleteI love that little piece Colby wrote for his Grandma. I thin he loved her. Linda
