For the Record Template by Taylor Made Designs
Comfort by Rebecca Lynn.

This template was perfect timing. I found out just the other day that my grandmother was going back into hospice and that she is not expected to make it through the winter. It is something we have known would come, but it is still really hard to deal with. This really helped get out some emotions that have been inside for a long time. Thanks so much for that!!

Memories of Grandma
I remember going to your house so many times to spend the night.
You would make a tent in the dining room with old blankets, the table,
chairs and anything else to make it more fun. You would fix me
oatmeal for breakfast every time. It was the best oatmeal in the world.
The fact was, that it was nothing more than the instant stuff in a package,
but the fact that it was at your house, made by you, made it taste better.
I remember getting a teddy bear every year for Christmas until I was
in my 20s. Wonder why I feel the need to get my kids so many now!
I remember Christmas morning when you would come over with baskets full of
everyday stuff (toothpaste, shampoo, soap) that you had carefully wrapped up
for us to open. I remember the Chex Mix that you would make specifically
for each one of us . Mine without peanuts, but with a few pretzels. And the bread
and pumpkin rolls. I remember all the clothes you used to make me and the blankets
you made for all of the babies who came into your life. I remember going to your
office and thinking that you must be important because you had your own office.
I remember you getting your white Buick and thinking it was so pretty and
that maybe I could have it when I turned 16. I remember you coming to all of my
basketball games, driving me to school and paying for my High School.
I remember your love of puzzles and dogs.

I want to continue to remember all of the good things and try to forget that you
are not you anymore. I miss these things so much, but more than 10 years of
Alzheimers has taken its toll on you. You don't remember who I am, but I remember
you and I miss you. I don't want to remember the fact that you are in a wheel
chair and are starting to forget how to eat. I don't want to remember
that you are on Hospice, again. This time, probably for the last time. I know that
it is time for you to move on and be in a happy place where you can remember
all of the good things too, but I am going to miss you. I want you to know that I
will always remember and that I love and...
I Miss You
