It's funny how our perspective shifts so much when a loved one has been sick for a while Vs when it first kicks in. My grandad passed away a few years ago after a long battle following a stroke, and I expected to be angry and devastated and everything else because he was one of my favourite people, but in the end I felt oddly at peace, because he wasn't suffering now and it was no longer about how sad I was that I didn't have my grandad as he was anymore, but about how much he had left me with through how amazing he'd been when he was well. It's good to cry. It's good to see that they're not lost even when they're lost, too ❤️
This is all very relatable; my grandma has dementia, too. I just go wherever she wants to go in a conversation. If she's happy, I'm happy. Still hard, but less so, now. <3
I really love my grandmother, too. Nanas forever.
This was beautiful Daisy!
It’s so moving and vulnerable and well-written. :)
Thank you Michael <3
Thanks for reading Marc. Call your grandma! ❤️
My grandma is 90 something now. I know one day she’ll be gone. This reminds me I need to call her a little more often. Thank you for this, Daisy.

Sorry to hear it Sean. Yes. This is the way. I’ve learned to fight it less. Just ride that big sad wave baby. I appreciate you.
There will always be the pictures in the leaves
Always!
