Far from where I am going

0 posted 2005-06-28 02:54 AM



I don't care what they say
grandmother
You'll always look and be the same
to me
even when your mind allows you
no memory
your pain is one
I wish only I could bear
to sweeten your years
and no medicine
can stop the pain
your tears may never dry
but never give in
please grandmother
never let your heart forget
your grandsons love
for even after memory fades
love will remain
forever from your grandson

(For my grandmother whom is suffering from alzheimers disease.Excuse the rust, writers block has taken hold of my pen.)

nice use of muffin

Listening to every heart

John, by the fourth line, I knew
where this was going...

perhaps one of the hardest diseases
a person can go through, for
the children and their children...

She does hear you.  Keep talking...
and touching.

my heart goes out to you
and echoing the same as Kari

Never stop talking to her, or touching her
This is a cruel disease, but allow her your voice, read to her, show her pictures, and when she asks who these people are, tell her their names, as if you were showing them to a very fond friend...

Love moves mountains...hugs to you and she

God bless
