Granny came to visit this past week. Her and Pam were out bumming for the day. It was good to see Granny....We miss her!
After diagnosis we use to go down and spend weeks at Granny's. The three of us and Mag had so much fun NOT doing a whole hell of a lot! : )
We played a lot of cards but the "shenanigans" that went on was what was fun! Oh we would laugh our heads off. We did a lot of munching but I think we wore off the calories by laughing. We had to take a nap after lunch just to have the energy and wit to go back to our games till super time.
The evenings were wind down time. Tom retreated to our bed room to watch sports and I would join Gram, watching her usual line up of programs.
Sometimes for a little distraction, Granny and Tom would do a little target practice out the sliding glass door. Mag liked to get in on this. If Scooter was around, than Mag had a little competition, Mag is bigger but Scooter was faster and a little more experienced.
Scooter is a Weenie/Terrier mix. Him and Mag were great friends. Than there was Romeo....Grams companion...(bird) Romeo always had to put his two cents in on everything. Romeo has full run of the house so he'd join our games on occasion. I don't have any proof....BUT I suspect that Romeo was signaling to Gram what cards Tom and I had in our hands......Granny is kinda sneaky that way?????
But Tom has declined since than and we haven't been back in over a year. He's sensitive to change and gets upset and confused easily. Thats not fun for anyone.
Tom functions at his best and does well by staying in his known environment, daily routine, undemanding, no expectations life which he often feels is boring......BUT when he steps out of his element, he gets mixed up, confused and scared........So than he decides boring is GOOD!
BUT yes...I miss those days at Grams.....I know she misses it too......... Our visits filled in a lot of empty time for her too....As she suffers from allergies that kept her house bound.
NOBODY will ever know all that went on in Granny's trailer but let's just say....She's a delightful, colorful, fun loving, fun living, imaginative, young person in that dilapidated body....... Who would have thunk! : )
❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥Someone Asked Why?❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥❥
Super women took a nose dive into the ground. She hit with such force she was buried for weeks. A heavy equipment operator was called in by God. He dug till he found her. She was still breathing but emotionally frail.
He took one look at her and he felt something he has never felt before. So when God said take care of her and love her......he did. He tried to walk away but couldn't....God filled him with an abundance of all the qualities he already possessed and said use these now to help her grow to her full potential as one day you will need what she has to give......
So he put her on a pedestal and kept her dusted and polished for years. Everyday he would polish and shine her and gave her everything he had inside as God instructed.
As the years slowly passed........and she shined like the brightest star in the sky......(He did an awesome job).....but now he was slowly losing himself.
She asked God with tears in her eyes " where is he going?" God said "he is going back to where he first came. It's a long hard journey and he needs you to help him get there safely."
I will give you an abundance of all you need to help him on his journey back to me, for that is where he came from.
So to those who ask why? Because I believe in fairy tales...He is my knight in shining armor...... He literally guarded me with his life.....

I second that motion... Granny is one amazing lady! A true gift from God, an inspiration to many, a mystery to the doctors (hee hee), a beautiful woman... inside and out! She knows how much the boys and I love her, and if you post this, so will everyone else! And Mom, shame on you for implying Granny uses Romeo to CHEAT! Hel-lo... She uses magnets! (grin)
Love you! Sanj
