Ok so I'm not just sitting, but I'm sitting with my Grandma. My Grandma 87 and has the beginning or maybe later stages of Alzheimers. My Mom took her in this year after her husband of 11 years passed away. Unfortunately, my Grandmother cut our family off about 7 years ago. I do believe it was because of the disease setting in. My Mom is an amazing woman to take her in after all these years. She is doing this out of human kindness and what she felt was the Godly thing to do.
Jeff and I had the opportunity to move up here with my family to help as much as we can. Actually, I would say they are helping us more than they know. ( I will blog on this later) So, here I sit with Grandma.
She is generally content, but at times worries about the dogs or if she is going to be left by herself. Oh, and she'll tell you things over and over again. I don't mind. If I had to endure that 24/7 I may feel different. I'm glad I have the time to spend with her. I don't what God has in mind for our family. All I know is, my Mom has sacrificed herself to take care of her Mother, broken relationship and all. (Trust me, the "everyday" is not easy) I know God will honor it. I'm realizing I may be in the same place one day. Taking care of my own Mom.

Welcome to bogging..yet another internet addiction:)
Good start ... I look forward to more. I like your deep thoughts :)
You and your mom, your dad and your brother are AWESOME people. And Grandma is a hoot. I know it's tough to see someone doing, saying and acting in ways that are not normal. Hang in there
Hey there Shannon...good job on the blog. I'll be praying for your family. :-)
