I was in another state when my grandmother was going, so I saw her briefly a couple of times a year. She was never hostile - she just didn't know who anybody was. At first, she could still sense that I somehow belonged to her, but later, there was no recognition at all. The last time I saw her alive she was playing with a doll and babbling like an infant. I walked out of the nursing home, sat in my car and fucking bawled. I never saw her alive again, but it didn't matter. I felt bad, but my uncle told me that I'd feel worse if I visited, and he was right.

I will admit to having been in tears to see my Mom in her present condition.....she struggles with even trying to talk, so all of her anger comes out physically.
I'm not going to be in a very festive mood for a while...a really sad way to spend the your time a couple of days before your 50th birthday.
