17. Oh I am so sorry.

Mon May 7, 2012, 01:19 PM

May 2012

I took care of my Grampa when he didn't know who I was anymore. Don't argue with them or try to force too much reality, unless the Docs tell you to. Grampa thought I was a housekeeper his mother must have had around when he was a kid. It was painful, but if they aren't stressed or panicked it can be easier for everybody to just let them think whatever.
