grandma

This woman is an inspiration. She is a fighter. She is the cutest grandma I have come to know, and I don't know what I would do without her sweet personality and funny quirks in my life. 
I know I have mentioned this before, but my grandma has Dementia. A disease that has been with her for about 6 years now. It slowly makes you act like a child, younger and younger until you die. she used to act like a 5 year old, 4 year old, and slowly went down, until now she acts like a baby. Which is sad. She can no longer walk, and has to be in a wheelchair. She can still eat somewhat by herself, but takes a long time and requires patience. 

If she speaks, which is hardly ever, she shouts. Grandma also doesn't remember anyone's name anymore, but you know what she does remember? Songs. The BYU fight song, even. If you start singing "I'm trying to be like Jesus" she knows all the words, which kind of makes my heart melt.

I don't know how much longer my grandma will live, but every minute i spend with her is a great one. I love you grandma! Never forget that
