My grandma

24/10/2020

Ive seen my 95yr old grandma 2x this year. At Christmas she had a slight inclination of who I was, in September she didn't know me at all. Sitting behind a screen to visit her was better than not visiting at all, but I couldn't give her a hug or hold her hand. Speaking over the phone isn't an option. It breaks my heart to see the lady vascular dementia has changed her in to, and I miss the lady she was before. I want her to be kept safe, but at 95, I'm not sure how much longer I'll have her
