why
9 years ago
I just found out one of my favourite people in the world, my grandmother Heather, has had a very sudden and rapid decline into Alzheimer’s.
She no longer remembers who I am.
I am so incredibly sad
She means the world to me, she's the sweetest woman
she isn't related by blood, she was actually my "aunt" when I was little because she was so close to my mom
but then my uncle married her daughter and so she became my family on paper
When I was in the hospital for like a month she would always visit me
My heart's breaking right now honestly
I just was trying to draw a bit to distract myself... only to look back and realize I was drawing a fairy.
Reminded me of the aforementioned hospital. I drew a lot when I was in there. Once when she came in I'd been drawing some kind of alien woman.
She said it looked like a fairy and I kind of laughed, then told her I'd draw her a real fairy.
I did and gave it to her, only to learn later she not only kept the drawing but had it framed and displayed it in her house.
I can't help but wonder what she thinks now when she looks at it.
She no longer remembers who I am.
