Grandma


My Grandma has become my priority so I haven't been able to do as much doll making as I would like. But I am getting gratification from her health going from everyone thinking she was only going to be around for a few more months at the most to looking like a shining star! My family has shown great pride and appreciation for my taking care of her and that means allot.

Her Alzheimer's is so much better too so she has become more independent. 'It's a GOOD thing'!! In the photo shown she is making cookies so that we can take them to my Mama in the hospital.

way to go and she looks so happy, I looked after my mum at our home when she had cancer, was tough at times but so rewarding.....

Hi Shelly. It is wonderful you have taken on this responsibility and I know how difficult it is. I also have my 92 yr old MIL living with us. She has dimentia and can't be left alone except to sleep. But the alternatives are unacceptable. I couldn't bear the thought of her in a home with little to no support or love. I'm sure you feel the same too. Kuddos!
