missing idaho

last night my grandmother died. it has been a hard past few years for everyone in idaho. she had alzheimers, which i have decided is the cruelest disease ever. i feel so much sadness for the whole situation. mostly i feel sad for my grandfather for losing his life partner, and grieving for many years. he couldn't take care of her, so he put her in a home, which was hard for him. but he couldn't do it by himself. i don't blame him at all. i have a hard enough time with two children. the last few months have been a downward spiral for her. she is now at peace.

right now i wish i was in idaho so i could be there with him.

So sorry to hear about your grandmother, mixed blessingish though it is. Hope things right themselves and that all the other, positive things going on balance this out.
