Another Day With Grandma

Grandma and her adopted son

My aunt tells me that my grand­moth­er is a very still sleep­er. Sometimes she gets scared when they’re lying in bed togeth­er, because my grand­ma does­n’t seem to breathe or move at all. I find myself hop­ing that she goes this way, pain­less­ly and peace­ful­ly in her sleep.

But every morn­ing, when she slow­ly walks out from her bed­room, I’m relieved and hap­py that she’s with us anoth­er day.

  1. Hey, grand­ma does­n’t look like a sick per­son.

    • It’s most­ly in her hands, legs, and stom­ach that you can tell how sick she is. My aunt tells me her face is much health­i­er look­ing now than when she first saw her, and does­n’t belie how advanced the sick­ness is.

  2. wow she looks young

    • We’re not real­ly sure how old she is, and she start­ed hav­ing kids when she was quite young, so she may very well be younger than we know it. She appears to have aged more than ever before to me, but maybe that’s from the sick­ness and because the last time I saw her was five years ago.

  3. She also looks as though she was quite a beau­ty! Still very good look­ing.
