We have been really busy moving my grandma from her apartment to a nursing home. She is so sad because she has been able to live on her own for so long. I hope she will like being with people and having help all the time though. We are praying she gets a roommate she likes.
We had to clean out her whole apartment that she has lived in the past 10 years. It was quite the job and only me and my Dad to do it. Me and Lexi went over yesterday and started packing away her china hutch and cleaning out her cedar chest. We were there all day and my Dad thought it would take us all of July to get rid of everything, but me and Brooks spent all day there today and the apartment is empty except for her chair. Can I even begin to tell you how tired we are!! My house is a wreck and my sister comes next week and girls camp is the next week, and I still have to do all the food shopping for camp AAHHHH!! By the way Marci, I have save the "Bust of Ruth" statue for you!
I am grateful that my Grandma is still alive, it would have been a lot tougher to do if I had to deal with emotions too. I am going to miss doing my Grandma's shopping and cleaning every other week, it just won't be the same going to visit in a not so private room. My Grandma is a very strong independent women and I am so grateful for all she has taught and given me. I wish getting older wasn't so hard! Life should get easier as we age not harder.
So sad that your Grandma has to move hope that she will be happy in her new place. When we moved my Mother it was so hard but after some time she got use to it and it wasn't as bad as we all thought it would be. Lucky her to have you for a Granddaughter.
