Family Life is getting hard
(update on last blog post)
Well, my grandpa's doing okay, he's got a huge bruise on his head and he's banged up but he should recover well at the assistant living home that we moved him into today. He's a bit depressed about leaving his house and his things... but he should be happier in the home with other people and company, along with physical therapy. (My grandma passed away a few years ago) but if he gets physically stronger, he can go back home.
Things got a little emotional when I asked him which picture frames he wanted to bring with to his room. He pointed to 2 pictures of my grandma and him and some tears fell.
Then when my grandpa was having a little trouble getting into the bathroom and stumbling a bit, I caught my mom crying in the other room. She's stressing herself out and trying to put on a happy face for him but it's like losing grandma all over again, except she didn't have to hide it last time. (Grandma had Alzheimer's) I gave her a hug and let it all out but otherwise she's keeping it all in as to not worry him much. I know it's taking a toll on her and that's hard..
I got a smile out of him today though. That's a big thing because he's been extremely depressed since grandma passed away, then being diagnoseon short notice was worth it ^_^ He barely smiles anymore and I'm glad that I was able to do that.
I should be driving back to college tomorrow and that's certainly going to because we have freezing rain here and it's supposed to snow tomorrow night.. gosh I want spring.. Well I'll update something, either my blog or upload a oneshot to let you guys know I got back okay :)
Sorry about the freaking novel of a blog but I thought I'd let you guys have a peak of my personal life and let you know why I had to leave for a few days.
I don't know if anyone reads this stuff but it helps me vent and let some build up thoughts out anyways..
Hope you all had a nice weekend! ♥
