Hehe I snapped this cute picture of Brandon before I woke him up in the morning and lol he looks like an angel. I guess all fathers feel that way about their kids though.
Later in the morning I went to visit grandma and it was pretty sad… She seems to have deteriorated a lot in the last month, she lost a bit of weight and seemed more troubled than usual. She was complaining about living in the home and really wanted to go with me which was difficult when I had to leave, she was almost begging and I felt so hopeless. 🙁 It’s a shame, I remember her as a vibrant happy strong woman who took care of herself all these years and she’s a shell of what she once was. I also feel bad that I didn’t spend more time with her when I was younger because she was always good to me. During one of the brief good moments I said a quick good bye and dashed out but I really empathize and can only imagine how scary things are for her, not knowing what’s going on or where she is.
While I was visiting grandma, I met Eric her roommate’s son who was visiting his mom and there’s a sad story there too. She also has dementia and he left when she was asleep, he said goodbye quietly, left the room and around 30 seconds later I could hear the woman weeping softly. I hope I never end up in a place like that, I’ll take care of myself long before I’m put into a home!
For lunch we ordered pizza and lol Brandon really likes bacon. After that we played around the house and for the first time Brandon decided to build some lego sets all by himself and he did a pretty good job!
Uh please disregard the ugly colour of my basement carpet but ya he spent a lot of time and built things himself (with me helping every now and then) and I could see that he was really enjoying it. 🙂 Later we played with the newly formed vehicles and characters and he laughed and laughed… He’s so happy and I’m lucky to have him.
We have a Beavers thing outdoor tomorrow and I’m just getting my bag ready, yes I’ll be carrying a huge backpack again because I’m nuts and it’s fun.
