Yes it's one of lifes hardest journeys. And to think I still have to go through it again with my mom and dad one day - I can't even.
We went through this with my Gran. She had dementia, mom took care of her. But when we went to sell her car, and went through her things to see what to keep and what not to keep -- it was so hard. My Gran loved her jewelry, my mom was not a big jewelry person so I kept all her jewelry. When I look at it I can remember her so well, I can even smell her perfume. Everything smelled lovely on her.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
