My Grannymar:

Here is my wonderful Grandma, 

A few months a go she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. She is still in the early stages, and is still the incredible lady that has always had a huge part in bringing me up, and helping me become the person I am today. When we found out she had Alzheimers Disease, I cried, and cried, and cried. All I could think about was my grandma forgetting who I am. And that really upset and scared me! My grandma is not only my grandma. She is my friend, who always offers support and kindness when I need it. I can not describe how much me and my family do not want this disease to get any worse, but we know one day it will. So we spend every single second we can with her in the most positive ways. She loves to entertain! Only a couple of weeks a go me and my boyfriend, Louis, went round. She was so excited, that she made us a cake, (she still remembers the recapie well!) set the table, used the posh plates of course! And made us dinner, I could tell that made her whole week. I don't think anything makes her happier than talking about the past, memories she can remember and relate to, and seeing her beautiful great grandchildren, And watching them grow. Hearing her stories makes me so happy. Sometimes she says things, certain things, which make me and my mum a little worried. Her brains recognition sometimes becomes a little slower, and she only appears to click on to what your actually saying a few moments into the conversation. It's sad, but it makes you realise that you need to spend every moment you can with the people you love, because you really don't get that long to live in this life, and anything can happen, at any moment. 

I will always love her for the person she is right now, however much she changes; she'll always be my Grannymar.❤️xxx
