GRANDMA, I LOVE YOU TONS!! I WILL MISS
SEEING YOU EVERYDAY!!
Dorothy "Jean" Vincent Returned home on Sept 15th 2009 from a long battle of Alzheimer's.
Grandma was the most patient, sweetest Grammy I could have ever asked for!! I always remember sleeping over at my Grandmas house, there was NEVER a time that you would ask to stay and the answer would be no, her answer always was I would love for you to stay sweetheart go tell mom your staying here with Grammy, not go ask mom.. :) Every morning I would get up Grammy would always have breakfast ready, the BEST bacon, eggs, french toast made with french bread, hash browns, toast, or whatever specialty you would like this Grammy knew how to cook it. Still to this day there is no one that can beat Grammies cooking.. "My mom is real close to it though" She has not been able to cook for about 7 years due to her Alzheimer's disease and that has really been hard on her, not to be able to do the things she has always cherished, which is taking her grandkids and her children to just do everyday normal activities. I could not imagine going day to day and not being able to function or remember and she knew it.. :( This disease is awful I have been taking care of my grandma for the past four or five months going over there everyday to help her bath, feed her, take her potty and just be there to help her function and to have someone to love and hold! She became like one of my own!! I can not tell you how hard it is to watch and see someone you love so much be unable to do daily functions without your help.. Grammy had to go in a home about 3 weeks ago because she could not even remember how to walk anymore, it absolutely killed me and my mom!! The worst is having to go to the nursing home everyday and watch them take care of her and watch her sit there in pain, there is nothing like your own home and we are so blessed that she was not there for very long. I would go visit her everyday and sit with her and just try to talk to her and tell her how much I loved her and it killed me to see others taking care of her that was my job.. My Grandma inspired me so much that i went back to school and got my CNA, so i can also help others that are in need of ADL's. Grammy I can not tell you how hard it is going to be for me not to get up every morning and know that I am going to see your beautiful face!! I miss you tons already and fill a HUGE void in my life without you here.. I LOVE YOU GRAMMY "Mom I love you, hang in there YOU are JUST LIKE your mom." The BEST mom that i could have ever been blessed with, but most of all is a mothers true love and meaning of really being a mother and that is YOU!!!! I could not be here today without you!!
