Pomie
My family has been taking care of my grandma's dog since she has been in a nursing home. They won't let her keep the dog, but he can visit during the day. It's been really hard on my grandma because all she had left was her dog. My grandparents divorced when my dad was somewhere in his late teens or twenties, and eventually all her kids moved out. It's been a tough transition for both my grandma and her dog. She keeps talking about how it's tough to be without Toby, her dog, and she can't wait to move out of there so she can have him back. She says she feels perfectly fine and isn't sick, so she doesn't get why they're keeping her there... my grandma has Alzheimer's. It's been really hard watching her lose her memory. She can remember the past okay, but not much of the present. Just recently her past is starting to get foggy too. We went out for ice cream to celebrate my birthday, she asked my dad what grade my brother was in, but she couldn't even remember his name. And now her dog is barking like crazy, and all I can think about is my poor grandma trying to get to sleep, wishing she had her little white dog next to her. I just don't know what to do.. conversations are hard, they seem to consist of the same thing, over and over. If you happen to be reading this, can you pray for my grandma? It would really mean a lot, even if you're not really into that whole thing. Thanks.
