2013-11-12 - 10:31 p.m. The past week has really taken a toll on my spirit. My family has had to make a heart breaking decision. Moving Grandma into her new residence has been the most difficult thing we have ever done. She didn't want to go, and I wish I had a million dollars to take care of her the way everyone is entitled to be taken care of in their last years or months of life. It's hard leaving her somewhere and knowing it's not the same as living in your own home. She is devastated and feels betrayed; I don't blame her at all. There is something so sterile about nursing homes, the constant reminder that you can't care for yourself. Her mind is totally there, that has got to be the hardest part of it all. The body gives out, but the mind doesn't. We are all grieving this loss for her. I hope she tries hard to cope with the change and that we have many more years to spend with her. I don't want her to give up; for selfish reasons....I love her and don't want her to leave us just yet. It's just too sad to continue to write about this. "Some People's Lives" Some people's lives run down like clocks. Didn't anybody tell them? Some people's lives fade like their dreams, Didn't anybody tell them Some people ask if the tears have to fall. Doesn't anybody tell them? xoxo I love you Grandma
