I love the pictures.
My grandfather died a ...Sweet.<br />I love the pictures.<br />My grandfather died a year ago, he had dementia. He had gotten to where he didn't recognize his own kids. However, I am the oldest grandchild (and favorite hehe), and I was determined, the last time I saw him, that I would know he knew who I was. So, I walked in and was just me. I laughed at him, talked to him, just the way we always were when I was growing up. He knew who I was, the whole weekend. He laughed, he spoke better and made more sense than my grandmother had seen him make in months. She said he didn't do that again after I left. <br />But, because I made sure to be the granddaughter he always knew, my grandmother and I got a glimpse of Papa. He was there. It was amazing. <br />I went in knowing I could be heartbroken or elated that he remembered me. I think the gamble was worth it.<br />The pics are lovely, you will cherish themAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030378027505873821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362083477762544112.post-38464869463059879202011-12-21T10:17:26.413-08:002011-12-21T10:17:26.413-08:00Such a sweet post. :)Such a sweet post. :)J and Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511831114292960429noreply@blogger.com
