This is my Grandma! She is quite a lady. She was married for over 61 years before my grandfather passed away in 2006. My grandfather took really good care of my grandmother to the point that she may of been a little spoiled. She lives in a care facility and they take good care of her too. She gets her meals there. They do her laundry and will clean up after her and make her bed if she doesn't get to it first. BUT in all of this my grandma gets lonely. She misses the day to day companionship she had with my grandfather. He would kiss her seven times before they would go to bed each night and he had a number of hugs he would give her each day too. It has been almost 4 years since my grandfather has been gone. I don't get to see my grandma to often anymore. I think I saw her twice last year. I always try and go up the week after Christmas. I took her to lunch. She usually uses one of those new walkers with the big wheels, but she didn't take it with her cause she had my arm to hold onto. During lunch she said, "I wanna tell you something but you have to keep it a secret." (Im writing this cause I know Im the only one that reads my own blog) I said sure I will keep your secret grandma whats up? She tells me hushedly..."I have a boyfriend" I was like really. She begins to tell me how they met etc. How he hugs her and kisses her. She was giddy like a teenager. They dont ever close their door rooms when they are alone she made sure I knew that. We went back to the room and she took my by this mans room and I got to meet him too. He was a cute lil old man.
So to start 2010 out and as my Grandma faces a Birthday soon #84, I needed to send out this big CHEER to her!!! Love you Grandma.
BTW it doesnt need to be a secret. We will all be happy for you!
