Alzheimer s Sucks
edit My grandmother passed away Tuesday October 3 2006 She was 83 Please continue to pray for a cure for Alzheimer s Disease This is my Granny Ruth who practically raised me I was her only granddaughter for 17 years She is the love of my life of course that excludes my kids and hubby She is in stage 5 of Alzheimer s and lives in a world that never included me She has reverted back to her childhood and mostly talks about her sisters and what they did yesterday or the day before One day they ve planted a garden another day they re washing clothes on the front porch with their grandmother She always wonders why her parents never come to pick her up They ve been gone for years but she still packs every night and waits for them She seems to know there is a quot Rachel quot and every time I ask her if she knows who I am she says quot Well no not really quot I say quot I m Rachel your granddaughter quot and always always she says quot Oh I THOUGHT those were your eyes quot Maybe there s something of a memory of me there in her head somewhere In this photo which she didn t know I was taking she s telling me about the little boys that live in the bushes behind her house Of course there are no boys living in bushes behind her house I miss her so much I miss how she cooked me oatmeal bacon and toast when I d come down each morning before I went to work to spend time with her I miss taking her to get groceries and how she studied every sales paper before she would decide which store to go to I miss her delicious Christmas fudge and how she d always be surprised at the gifts we had made her for holidays I miss her laughter and how her purse always smelled like Doublemint gum I miss every single thing about her and she s still here She s here but her mind is not I ve already mourned for who she was but I ache for one more of her tight hugs every single day of my life Pray that there is a cure for Alzheimer s Disease soon It s too late for her but maybe not
