My Grandpa, is 94 and had a stroke. I am not sure how much he knows at this point but Alzheimer is setting in as well. He has always been independent so I think it is hard for him to lose that.
I feel bad because I do not see him much. Mostly around Christmas, once a year if we get down to Florida. I guess I do not make the effort I should..... My Uncle is close by to monitor and take care of him. I can only imagine the stress and patience it takes.
Here is an odd story.
Saturday night I was told my Grandpa, broke into the assisted living centers snack closet to steal candy.
The same Saturday night, my wife and I went to bed around 9pm, the little ones were supposed to be asleep. We woke up around 11pm, to giggles and found our kids rolling a soccer ball to each other and eating 8 bags of gummy bears between the two of them...
So on the same night Grandpa was breaking into the candy closet, my kids broke into the candy jar....
Here is a video from last Christmas,
he was dancing with his great grand kids.
