My Grandma died last year . . . at age 100.5. She had moved into an assisted living apartment at age 95, but she still didn't need much assistance. Amazing thing. (She was a bit of a dragon lady, though. Ornery. . .)
ReplyDeleteGrampa was very ornery too the last little bit that he lived at home...he was always an emotional man and to see him cranky all the time was hard. I think part of it was the frustration and not being the man he used to be and the Parkinsons as well.
