We haven't had any grandparents around for a long time and sometimes I'll think that we should import an elderly person upon occasion cuz they're so smart about life.

Such excellence cannot be possible!<BR/><BR/>Strangely, my husband's Grandma died last week. She was 95 and ready to go, so it was no shock to anyone. Her sister had died just the week before and she seemed to lose steam after that. But it's still strange....<BR/><BR/>We've been through the Alzheimers thing too. My mom's cousin was diagnosed with the early onset type before he was 50 and it was brutal. He died before 60 with the brain capacity of a 3-year-old. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. <BR/><BR/>But I love that you finished your post on a hopeful note. What a great tribute to your husband.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.com
