Elizabeth & Grandma

Physical challenges, legal blindness, and Alzheimer's are not going to prevent us from LIVING!

Me: Grandma, you're hilarious!
Grandma: That's better than being a table.

G: "Uh-Oh!" M: "What!?" G: "I felt cold." M: "Oh, I thought something bad was happening." G: "THAT IS BAD!!" #fairenough #nochill

Find the joy in every moment. Even in sleepless nights. #treasureeverymoment #alzheimers #joy #Ilovehermorethansleep

Age is just the number of years that people have been enjoying you. #embracelife #alwaysgrowing #nevertooold

Doctor: Are you getting enough sleep?
Me: Sometimes, when I sneeze, I close my eyes. #caregiver #permanentlyexhausted #Godbless

Some mornings are spent in laughing sing-alongs, and others are mainly conversations about how to swallow. #caregiverlife #loveherthroughit

Grandma: "I'm not young."
Me: "What makes you say that?" Grandma: "I weigh too much." 😳😳😳#weightooold #agedtoperfection #agegamewinning

[Elizabeth & Grandma @GrandmaGems]

Me: "How are you feeling today, Grandma?"
Grandma: "Great! I woke up!"

Overheard: My body is running down.
Grandma: You'd better go catch it!!

Me: "I think we need to get these on the right feet here."
Grandma: "Good luck. I don't have any other feet." #caregiver #stepback

Grandma: "I'm brushing my teeth!"
Me: "But your mouth is up here..."
Grandma: "I have a big mouth!" #caregiver #routines #cleaneverything

I used to be ambitious. Now, my highest aspirations include the dream of six hours of undisturbed sleep. #onlyadream #sotired #caregiver

[Elizabeth & Grandma @GrandmaGems]

Me: "Are you falling asleep on the table?"
Grandma: "My face is lying on it. What do you THINK I'm doing?!"

Mandy came in, but turned to grab something. My grandmother looked at me disapprovingly.
"She was afraid you're gonna be weird." #mybad

[Elizabeth & Grandma @GrandmaGems]

I was dancing around, hoping to provoke a smile or a laugh.
"You don't find me amusing, #Grandma ?"
"No. You're just crazy." #notamused

Happy Birthday to my favorite senior citizen! #BirthdayAdventures #Grandma #RemindersofLoveLightUpHerFace #howcuteisshe

Sometimes, you just need a break with a warm hug. #olaf #warmhug #peaceonearth #roughmorning #hugsfixeverything #grandma

You might be a caregiver if it takes longer to get ready to go than to get through the appointment. #allthemeltdowns #caregiver #adventures

While decorating, Grandma said: "We need to calm down before someone busts their britches." #newone #grandma #Christmasisourfavorite #merry
